CNN Commentator Reveals Real Reason Haris Won’t Talk To Press

CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings stated on Friday that Vice President Kamala Harris is avoiding questions from the media to hide her liberal record.

Since launching her 2024 presidential campaign on July 21, the same day President Joe Biden withdrew from the race, Harris has not held any press events or participated in interviews. During “CNN News Central,” Jennings suggested that Harris is focusing her campaign on positioning herself as an alternative to Republican nominee Donald Trump rather than emphasizing her policy platform.

“[The Harris campaign does not] want to answer questions. I mean, that’s a lot of talking, and here’s the bottom line,” Jennings said. “They don’t want her to sit and answer questions. And if you look at her TV hits now and you don’t know anything, if you just landed here on a spaceship and you knew nothing, you would assume she’s running as a Republican. I mean, she’s out here running, saying she’s throwing criminals in jail and getting tough on the border. You’ve got [Tim] Walz out here saying he’s gonna protect the Second Amendment. You’d think these people were running as Republicans when, in fact, their record is way left of center, way outside of the political mainstream.”

“The bottom line is, they don’t want to run on any kind of policy agenda. This campaign is an avatar, it is a vessel to just stop Trump. Their main thing is being president is nothing more than not being named Donald Trump,” Jennings continued. “That’s what their platform is, I don’t think it’s enough. But we’ll see if she can get away with it, it is a short campaign.”

Jennings pushed back against the Harris campaign’s claim that Trump is “too lazy” to actively campaign, pointing out that Harris herself has avoided speaking to the press.

“[Trump] is campaigning. And if you want to make an attack that Trump is too lazy to campaign because he’s not having rallies in swing states, I guess we can make an attack that Kamala Harris is too something to hold a press conference or answer questions about her record, her time as vice president, her positions when she was running for president, which she now through an anonymous flack, says she’s changing. So, I guess the campaigns will have a tit for tat on that, about who’s actually doing what they need to do to assure the American people that they will be a good president for the next four years,” Jennings said.
