Axios - Vice President Harris will accept the Democratic presidential nomination Thursday without having sat for an interview, held a press conference or released many details about her policy priorities in the month since she entered the race, Axios' Alex Thompson writes. The initial strategy is part of a larger pattern of Harris being risk-averse, with highly choreographed and scripted appearances — and just a couple of short gaggles with reporters.
Harris' team has put off repeated interview requests from media outlets for four weeks. She has committed to one interview by Aug. 31. Through anonymous campaign spokespeople, Harris' campaign has said she wouldn't ban fracking, try to pass Medicare for All, or implement some other progressive ideas she embraced during her presidential campaign for the 2020 nomination...Some of her aides have felt she has been too risk-averse, and would get too frustrated when anything went wrong — a dynamic the aides say made them less likely to push for creative proposals.
