Despite what the mainstream media would have you believe, Kamala Harris isn’t exactly coasting to an easy victory in the presidential race.
In fact, the latest polls show that this race is anything but over. A brand-new Yahoo News/YouGov poll reveals Harris is leading Donald Trump by just one point among registered voters, well within the margin of error. Translation? This race is a dead heat.
Let’s be clear: Harris got no bounce from the Democratic National Convention. None. The previous poll showed them tied at 46% each, and nothing has changed since then. But don’t expect the media to highlight this inconvenient truth. They want you to think Harris is running away with it and that this election is already in the bag. Why? Because they’re desperate to paint her as the inevitable winner and discourage any serious challenge.
After weeks of glowing media coverage, the fact that Harris hasn’t pulled ahead should be the real headline. Instead, what do we get? Crickets. Harris’s campaign is feeling the heat, and it’s showing. They’re agonizing over who should interview her and under what circumstances. Why else would she go 39 days without answering a single tough question?
Finally, they’ve caved and scheduled an interview on CNN. But don’t get too excited—this isn’t the candid, hard-hitting interview we need. Harris won’t be facing tough questions alone; she’s bringing along her “babysitter,” running mate Tim Walz. Yes, the vice-presidential nominee has to share the stage with Harris, presumably to help her navigate the tough questions and keep the conversation on track. What does that say about her ability to lead?
The media’s kid-glove treatment of Harris is on full display here. She’s being shielded from real scrutiny, with friendly CNN anchor Dana Bash set to handle the interview. The whole thing will be pre-taped, giving the Harris-Walz campaign plenty of time to edit out any awkward moments. So much for transparency.
Kamala is afraid to do a one-on-one interview, so she and Walz have agreed to do a joint interview with CNN and Dana Bash.
Dana Bash recently insisted that Kamala was never the “Border Czar.”
It’s sure to be a hard-hitting journalistic tour-de-force. pic.twitter.com/42E7GKmrot

In the end, the American people deserve real answers, not this pre-packaged, heavily edited spectacle. Harris claims she’s ready to tackle inflation, the border crisis, and the housing shortage—issues she’s had three and a half years to address as vice president. Why didn’t she do something about them then? And why does she need her running mate by her side to answer these questions now?
Megyn is right. Kamala, you are running for the most powerful position and you can’t do a sit down interview on your own? You need to have your binky with you (or big white blankey? )🤣😂
You are incompetent to lead this country and you’re an embarrassment to women! pic.twitter.com/MWTdqeXguS— Sequencer (@RealSeq16) August 28, 2024
The truth is, this interview is just another attempt to control the narrative and keep Harris from facing the tough questions alone. It’s a sad commentary on the state of political discourse when a presidential candidate can’t even do a solo interview without a safety net.
