Quentin Fulks, deputy campaign manager for the Harris-Walz presidential campaign, told MSNBC on Friday that Vice President Kamala Harris will do interviews with the media "on her time."
Speaking on MSNBC's "José Díaz-Balart Reports," Fulks told co-host Ana Cabrera that Harris can be expected to be forthcoming with an unscripted conversation "when she's ready."
Since Harris replaced President Joe Biden at the top of the Democratic Party's ticket, many in the media have been pushing the vice president to speak to the public without the aid of a teleprompter.
"I'm wondering because we have been all wanting to speak with the vice president herself. We know it has been a truncated start to this campaign for her as presidential candidate, but when will she sit down with the media in a one-on-one capacity and answer our questions?" Cabrera asked.
"I think she'll sit down on her time," Fulks responded.
"Look, as you mentioned, this was a truncated time frame. We have made sure that we were getting out talking to voters. I think people forget just how short of a time frame it has been."
"We had a change at top of the ticket. We elected a brand-new vice presidential nominee pick in Gov. [Tim] Walz. We had to host the convention. And we had to make sure we're communicating with voters," Fulks continued. "So there is no rest for the wicked."
"Our campaign is going to continue to do all the things with we need to do. Vice President Harris will make herself available to speak to the press on her time and when she's ready," he said.
Also on Friday, independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced he was dropping out of the race and endorsing former President Donald Trump. During his speech, he said, "Harris has not appeared in a single interview or unscripted encounter with voters in 35 days."
