Harris embarks on media interview blitz as polls show her tied with Trump

As many as a quarter of US voters say they want to learn more about the vice president ahead of November’s election.

Vice President Kamala Harris has stepped up her media appearances, giving interviews to outlets big and small in an effort to appeal to voters in the final weeks of the United States presidential race.

The Democratic nominee continued with her media blitz on Tuesday, granting interviews to The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, the talk show The View and veteran broadcaster Howard Stern – who was once a friend of former President Donald Trump.

Early in her campaign for the presidency, Harris faced criticism for failing to make a major media appearance.

She announced her presidential bid on July 21, and it was more than a month later, on August 29, that she gave her first TV interview since launching her campaign.
