Vice President Kamala Harris has adopted a strategy of avoiding media interviews, sparking a mix of criticism and praise.
CNN's Van Jones views this as a 'master class' in politics, suggesting Harris is outmaneuvering former President Trump in the political arena without engaging extensively with the press. Critics argue that this approach deprives the electorate of the opportunity to scrutinize her policies and positions, potentially undermining democratic transparency.
This tactic has led to discussions about its effectiveness and the implications for Harris's potential 2024 presidential campaign, amid concerns from international adversaries.

Kamala Harris's media silence strategy is actually pretty smart when you think about the current political climate. It's a way of staying above the fray and not giving detractors unnecessary ammunition, especially given how toxic political discourse can get. Plus, it forces people to focus on her actions and policies rather than just her words, which is a refreshing change from the usual political noise.

Kamala Harris is on a well-deserved roll ... during the more than two weeks since Harris’ campaign began, to sit her down for serious media interviews or news conferences outside the controlled bubbles of partisan rallies and teleprompters.
