Vice President Kamala Harris has come under increasing public scrutiny following a series of recent media appearances. These include interviews on platforms like CBS’s 60 Minutes, The View, and the Call Her Daddy podcast. The appearances, part of what some are calling a “media blitz,” contrast with her previous avoidance of major public interviews and have drawn both attention and criticism.

Harris's interview on 60 Minutes was particularly notable, as she faced challenging questions about her administration’s stance on immigration, foreign policy, and her fluctuating positions on key issues such as fracking and healthcare. When pressed on the Biden-Harris administration's handling of immigration policies, Harris pointed to ongoing solutions and previous challenges from the Trump administration. However, she did not fully address why certain policy actions were delayed.

In another interview on The View, Harris was asked if she would have done anything differently than President Biden during his term. She responded by stating that nothing came to mind, a reply that Republicans quickly seized upon. The Trump campaign reshared clips from the interview without additional commentary, seeing it as an effective point for their platform.

Harris’s appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast, a platform known for its focus on women's issues, also sparked reactions, particularly during a discussion on reproductive rights. Both Harris and host Alex Cooper attempted to name a law that gives the government power over men’s bodies, but neither mentioned the military draft or vaccine mandates—points critics were quick to highlight.

Harris's increased media presence comes as concerns grow among Democrats about her ability to navigate public scrutiny and articulate her positions clearly, particularly as the 2024 presidential race intensifies.
