(DCNF)—CNN analyst Alex Thompson suggested Tuesday that Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign’s pause for sit-down interviews could be due to her “worst moments” being captured on camera.
Questions about whether Harris will participate in any in-depth interviews have arisen as her only unscripted schedule event is her upcoming debate against former President Donald Trump on Sept. 10. Appearing on “CNN News Central,” Thompson stated while he believes Harris should face questions during an interview, her campaign might view avoiding the press as “politically smart.”
“These are the internal debates and conversations going on — is it going to be live? How long is it? Is it on TV [or] is it print? Is it with someone that is a little bit softer, a little bit friendlier, and ideologically aligned person?” Thompson asked. “And if she does something that‘s more partisan or more liberal leaning, does the press give her credit for doing that interview?”
“Now, Jamal is right and that there‘s two different things going on. There‘s basically should she answer questions and I think as a reporter I would be biased and say yes she should. But is it the politically smart thing to do? That‘s the debate also going on within Democratic Party circles,” Thompson continued.
Thompson continued stating Harris’ “worst moments” on camera resulted from getting flustered and answering in a roundabout way. The political analyst added Democrats might be considering allowing Harris to “just do a few interviews” before voters head to the polls.
Over the last few years Harris has received major push back on her numerous word salads during public events and interviews. However, online supporters of Harris have turned some of her notable lines, such as falling out of a coconut tree and being “unburdened by what has been,” into viral memes.

“The fact is that some of her worst moments as vice president were when she did interviews on camera. That she got a little flustered, she sorta of did these roundabouts in answers about immigration or about COVID-19,” Thompson said. “So that‘s the other thing that Democrats are thinking. Can you basically only do a few interviews? Is it strategically sound to just do a few interviews before then and November.”
Since becoming the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee in late July, Harris has yet to release an official policy platform on her campaign website or sit down with the press. The vice president has also received major backlash over flip-flopping on left-wing policies she once campaigned on during her 2020 run for president.
In a Sunday interview on ABC News, Republican Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas called out the vice president for not personally denouncing her previous far-left views, stating that the only pushback against these policies has come from her aides.

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
