In her remarks on Fox News,\u2062 White pointed to a video of Harris boarding a plane while wearing\u2063 earbuds, suggesting\u2063 this was an attempt to evade journalists. She expressed concern \u200bthat Harris&#8217;s\u200c approach sets\u200c a\u2064 troubling precedent for future candidates, as\u200d it \u2063allows \u200dfor a lack of accountability on important\u200c issues, particularly foreign policy. White highlighted \u200cthe recent deaths of Israeli hostages as an example of \u200dwhat she views as the Biden administration\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/us-weapons-left-behind-in-afghanistan-may-have-been-among-deadly-tools-hamas-used-on-civilians\/\" title=\"US weapons left in Afghanistan may have been used by Hamas on civilians.\">flawed foreign policy<\/a>, raising concerns \u2063about U.S. military families under Harris&#8217;s\u2063 potential leadership. White believes that Harris&#8217;s strategy prevents \u200cvoters from adequately assessing her\u200b record and policy positions.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Harris strategy is &lsquo;avoid hard questions&rsquo; about her record: Kaylee McGhee White<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1743430\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/author\/kaylee-mcghee-white\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Kaylee McGhee White<\/a> argued Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kamala-harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Kamala Harris&rsquo;s<\/a> campaign strategy is &ldquo;avoid hard questions&rdquo; from the press in the last two months before the election.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>White, the <em>Restoring America<\/em> editor for the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em>, referenced footage shared online showing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/vice-president\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>vice president<\/a> boarding a plane while wearing earbuds, which prompted some to claim she was doing so to avoid the press.

As the Restoring America editor for the Washington Examiner, White pointed to a video circulating online that depicted Harris boarding a plane while wearing earbuds, leading some to suggest she was trying to dodge reporters. She noted her amusement at how Harris held her phone up as if on a call despite already having wired earbuds in place. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This whole situation is illogical, but it reflects her strategy: continuing to sidestep press inquiries, evade difficult questions about her record, and withhold answers from the American public,&#8221; White stated during an appearance on Fox News\u2019s Fox &amp; Friends First. She predicted that after a recent poor interview with CNN, it was unlikely Harris would participate in any more sit-down interviews.<\/p>\n<p>White also expressed concern about what this strategy means for future candidates, arguing that running a campaign based solely on &#8220;vibes rather than policies&#8221; hinders voters&#8217; ability to assess Harris effectively. She emphasized that Harris seems to overlook her role as a &#8220;public servant&#8221; and is actively avoiding engagement with citizens.<\/p>\n<p>One significant issue Harris has not addressed is the Biden administration&#8217;s foreign policy following reports of six Israeli hostages found dead recently. White highlighted this tragedy as indicative of what she described as the administration&#8217;s &#8220;disastrous&#8221; foreign policy record jeopardizing U.S. citizens&#8217; safety. \u201cAs someone whose brother proudly serves in the Navy,\u201d she remarked, \u201cI worry about him if Kamala Harris were ever to become commander-in-chief; I\u2019m sure many military families share my concerns.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Harris will have an opportunity next week during a presidential debate hosted by ABC News on September 10th to respond to press inquiries. Former President Donald Trump has expressed eagerness for this debate and claimed it would reveal vulnerabilities in Harris\u2019s position. The Harris campaign aims for live microphones throughout the debate\u2014contrasting with CNN\u2019s format where candidates\u2019 mics were muted when not speaking\u2014while Trump\u2019s senior adviser Jason Miller asserted there would be no changes made regarding debate rules and accused them of fearing direct confrontation with Trump<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2632,"featured_media":2336111,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Harris-avoiding-press-scaled-1024x684.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[39979,37044,33560,32076],"class_list":["post-2336110","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-hard-questions","tag-harris-strategy","tag-kaylee-mcghee-white","tag-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Harris-avoiding-press-scaled-1024x684.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2336110","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2632"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2336110"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2336110\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2336111"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2336110"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2336110"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2336110"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
