Cornell Belcher told NBC’s “Meet The Press” that Harris “should be talking to voters and going across the country.”
A prominent Democratic pollster has defended Vice President Kamala Harris over her penchant for steering clear of sit-down interviews amid criticism that she’s avoiding scrutiny of her record while a heartbeat away from the Oval Office.
Cornell Belcher brushed aside concerns that Harris is giving the impression she’s scared to go off-script by declining to make herself available to reporters.
“She should be talking to the voters and barnstorming the way they do,” Belcher, president of Brilliant Corners Research & Strategies, said during NBC’s “Meet the Press” panel segment on Sunday. “I don’t want her talking to you all right now. She should be talking to voters and going across the country.”
Since ascending to the top of the Democratic ticket last month, Harris has yet to do a major interview, though she has teased plans to get one “scheduled” by the month’s end.
