To the editor: We once again hear a reader complain that Vice President Kamala Harris has not done any interviews or press conferences as her party's presidential candidate.
Let's get this straight. Journalists are upset, not most voters. She's been the official candidate for less than a month and has been busy gathering support, getting her campaign apparatus up and running, deciding on strategy, choosing a running mate, hosting a successful convention and holding rallies — things that other candidates have many months to organize.
That said, she has just been interviewed on CNN and has talked about her values and goals for the country. Meanwhile, former President Trump continually lies, makes things up, and says nonsense without anyone questioning him.
As for the tired accusation that no one voted for her, Democrats voted for the Biden-Harris ticket. The president voluntarily resigned before being nominated and wholeheartedly supported Harris, his eminently qualified vice president. Should his supporters have refused to let him drop out of the race? Others could have run against her, but chose not to.
Democrats aren't complaining; why aren't Republicans giving up? They were counting on a chaotic Democratic convention; it was the opposite. Trump's supposed path to victory has been derailed and they are freaking out. It's sad.
