They were helped by CNN editing the interview. Live press conferences and the debate will not be edited. That's the risk going forward and why the campaign will try its utmost to minimize instances where Harris speaks off-the-cuff. The more she speaks off-the-cuff, the more support she loses as happened in 2020. |
No need to be concerned. Here is Harris off-the-cuff in Michigan. Tough, direct, presidential. https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/07/politics/video/kamala-harris-hecklers-interrupts-speech-digvid |
The problem is the interviewer. Dana never shuts up! Too many networks droning on and on when leading into a guest commentator, interview, panel. |
Who says it was "absolutely necessary"? He was there bc he/they wanted to be? They can do whatever interview type they feel like. Whose perferences should they have followed w respect to interview style, place, network, interviewer, questions covered etc? Yours? A random internet person? Mine? Where are you getting this standard they were supposed to adhere to? Stop watching Fox and use your brain |
When did she stop being about to speak off the cuff? Did she have an accident and get injured? I think there is something to dusting off any rust but why would she have changed in this respect? |
And they pay whatever price that decision carries. Right now, Walz's preference is a question mark at the very least, but many people perceive his presence as indicating Harris couldn't handle the interview alone. |
Off-the-cuff responses to policy questions from the press are the risk. They will try to shield her from those. Biden's campaign did that successfully in 2020, but without covid, it's harder to do now. |
He also looked more presidential than Harris in the interview. The staging was poor. |
Grade A concern trolling. You should hear DonOLD on policy issues. I mean we all should, but he can’t talk about it anymore.

| Is it weird that the Republican presidential nominee and vice presidential nominee see m to never be in the same room together, but the Democratic presidential nominee and vice presidential nominee seem attached at the hip? |
| He's willing to talk to the press. She isn't. |
You mean like this? Harris handled herself well, despite the inanity of the “questions” posed. https://x.com/MentallyDivine/status/1821780063991255347/mediaViewer?currentTweet=1821780063991255347¤tTweetUser=MentallyDivine |
| The question on tracking seemed out of left field. Who is even talking about this? |
There's only about 2 months left. You'll have a debate or two and that's about it. The rest of any Harris interviews will be local ones in the 6-7 battleground states. |
| I like how she refused to address Trump's comments about her Black background. It does not deserve any explanation. Good for her. |
