Doocy Asks Kamala Harris If She Is Prepared To Be Interviewed By Fox News

Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy asked Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday night if she is ready to be interviewed by his network.

Doocy asked Harris the question as she walked down the hallway following her nomination speech at the Democratic National Convention (DNC), as she has not sat for an interview since the launch of her campaign. Harris told Doocy she is “working toward” an interview.

“Are you ready for your Fox News interview?” Doocy asked.

“I’m working toward it,” Harris said while laughing.

Harris has not announced any specific date for an upcoming interview or press conference since she launched her campaign on July 21. Her campaign’s communications director Michael Tyler told CNN’s Jim Acosta on Aug. 14 that Harris will commit to a sit-down interview by the end of August, but did not speak to any planned press conferences.

Republican nominee Donald Trump held two press conferences on Aug. 8 and Aug. 15, where he answered questions from reporters part of the liberal media. The former president committed to three debates against Harris on Sept. 4, Sept. 10, and Sept. 25 during the first press conference, to which Harris has only committed to the Sept. 10 debate moderated by ABC News.

Trump appeared at the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) convention in July that immediately turned hostile. ABC News reporter Rachel Scott began the event by recounting instances of Trump’s alleged racism, with the former president characterizing her statements and question as “a disgrace.”

CNN’s Van Jones said on Aug. 7 that Harris cannot duck interviews for a long period of time, as she has a duty to be “available” for media appearances.

Harris accepted the Democratic nomination without releasing a policy platform, leading to many questions about where she stands on key issues. Harris’ campaign website does not list any policies after a month since she launched her campaign, while Trump’s website lists 20 bullet points of detailed policy proposals regarding the border, economy and social issues.
