Pollster Admits the Obvious: Dems Don’t Want Kamala Harris Taking Tough Questions

Democrats are now saying the quiet part out loud: They want Kamala Harris to keep hiding from the press.

In a Sunday interview with NBC, Democratic pollster Cornell Belcher shut down PBS’s Amna Nawaz’s pleas for Harris to talk to journalists.

“Interviews are where candidates face rigor and skepticism and questions about issues that they’re not raising on the campaign trail and in monologue,” Nawaz (rightly) explained. “It opens it up to a conversation in a way that’s good for voters and good for democracy.”

But it’s not good for Democrats, Belcher shot back: “As a campaign hack, no. She should be talking to the voters and barnstorming the way they do . . . I don’t want her talking to you all right now.”

Harris isn’t “talking to voters” as much as talking at them — from a teleprompter at rallies that insulate her from any risk of an actual interaction that could prove embarrassing. (Read more from “Pollster Admits the Obvious: Dems Don’t Want Kamala Harris Taking Tough Questions” HERE)
