After months receiving criticism from both sides of the political spectrum for not doing enough interviews, US vice president Kamala Harris has started a series of high-profile interviews in the run-up to election day.
Harris’ media blitz began on Sunday with an interview on Call Her Daddy, which is one of the most listened-to podcasts in the world.
Harris spoke with host Alex Cooper about her career, domestic violence and abortion rights.
Asked about the ramifications of , Harris spoke at length about the case of Amber Thurman, a woman who died in Georgia following abortion complications and delayed medical care.
Harris criticised the stance that states should have exceptions for abortion in the case that the mother’s life is endangered.
“You know what that means in practical terms? She’s almost dead before you decide to give her care,” Harris said.
The pair also discussed , including her marriage to Douglas Emhoff and her stepchildren Cole and Ella Emhoff.
Referring to Donald Trump’s vice presidential candidate, Harris said that “family comes in many forms” and that American increasingly “understand that this is not the 1950s anymore”.
The vice president also encouraged Cooper’s primarily female audience to vote.
Harris has received widespread criticism in recent months for limiting the number of interviews she has given.
Harris has not held a formal press conference and has done few sit-down interviews with major news organisations since becoming the Democratic nominee.
Harris appeared with her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, on CNN in late August and then gave her first major solo interview with MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle in late September.
An interview with veteran broadcaster Oprah Winfrey in September for a virtual Harris rally also gained a large amount of media attention.
In contrast, Trump has given multiple interviews with media outlets, podcasts such as the Lex Fridman Podcast and Logan Paul’s Impaulsive and on social media, including an interview with Elon Musk on X in August.
However it was reported the Republican candidate pulled out of an interview with CBS News’ 60 Minutes program last week.
This week, Harris is set to engage on a media tour, making appearances on The View, Howard Stern’s radio program and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
There is less than one month left before the US presidential election on Tuesday 5 November.
