Lawmakers Say Harris Dominating Media 

During Friday’s broadcast of Bloomberg’s “Balance of Power,” Rep. Glenn Ivey (D-MD) commented on Vice President Kamala Harris’s 2024 presidential campaign, noting that although there will be opportunities for her to participate in news conferences and interviews in the future, she is currently commanding media attention and can continue focusing on rallies for the time being.

“I think she’s also continuing to dominate the media. I think part of the reason Trump had the press conference yesterday was he’s been sidelined, in part, by his own silly comments, but also because of the rise of her campaign, and I think he’s trying to figure out a way to get back into it, Ivey said. “They had Vance following them around for a couple of days, kind of nose pressed up against the window, yeah. It was kind of funny. But it’s clear that they’re a little desperate and confused about how to go forward with the message.”

Host Joe Mathieu then posed the question, “Should she hold a news conference or participate in some interviews? The current issue is that she’s not addressing questions.”

“Yeah, I don’t mind her doing that. I think it’s — there’s going to be plenty of time for a variety of types of news conferences like that, but the introducing herself and her vice presidential candidate, I think are the way to go right now,” Ivey responded. “So, I like the speeches in the battleground states, the big rallies make sense, continuing to push the high-energy events make[s] a lot of sense. And she can ride that out, I think, going forward.”
