New Jersey Gov. Murphy Defends VP Harris’ Lack of Press Interviews
New Jersey Governor Murphy came to the defense of Vice President Harris amid criticism for her lack of formal press interviews since becoming the Democratic Party’s nominee. Harris has gone 24 days without holding a press conference or sit-down interview, sparking questions about her accessibility to the media.
During a CNN appearance, Murphy praised Harris, stating, “She’s on a roll. She’s brought joy back into the whole arena of politics. There will be plenty of time to do interviews.” He also responded to former President Trump’s criticisms, emphasizing the importance of Harris conducting interviews with “real journalists.”
Murphy commended Harris’ choice of running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, calling it “inspired.” However, Walz has faced controversy over his service in the Army National Guard, with questions arising about his retirement just months before his battalion deployed to Iraq.
The Harris campaign has not yet responded to requests for comment on the matter. Despite the criticism, Murphy remains optimistic about the campaign’s progress, describing the past weeks as “extraordinary.”
Overall, the debate over Harris’ lack of press interviews continues to stir controversy, with both supporters and critics weighing in on the issue. Stay tuned for further developments on this story.
