Deep dives
Kamala Harris's Lack of Engagement
Kamala Harris has not participated in any press conferences or interviews since becoming her party's presumptive nominee, a notable deviation from typical political norms. This absence raises concerns regarding her transparency and willingness to engage directly with voters and the media, emphasizing a strategic withdrawal from public scrutiny. Lack of clarity on key policy positions has led to frustration, as her campaign website does not outline any specific plans or policies. This approach risks creating a gap between Harris and the electorate, fostering doubt about her competence as a candidate.
