Vice President Kamala Harris embarks on a media rush in the final run-up to November 5.
Vice President Kamala Harris’ appearance on CNN for a town hall in Pennsylvania is part of her media blitz in the final run-up to Election Day for the Democrat who has had less than six months in a competitive political season to introduce herself to voters.
The whirlwind of visits to such places including the studios of CNN, Telemundo, NBC News and Fox News—and with Charlamagne tha God, co-host of the The Breakfast Club radio show—is all about trying to reach that sliver of undecided voters, said Imani Cheer, associate professor of digital storytelling at George Washington University and interim senior associate provost for undergraduate education.
« It’s crunch time. This is an unprecedented moment for so many reasons. Not only is this the first Black and Asian American woman who was able to rise to this height. But also this is an abbreviated campaign. We didn’t have the pleasure of a year. We’re moving with less than 90 days to get to know her », Cheer told Newsweek via phone on Wednesday night.
And those media appearances—before Spanish-speaking voters, Black men, along with Republicans who are still undecided—aim to shift those who can be convinced to cast ballots for her, Cheer added.
