Vice President Harris will spend the week hitting the airwaves with a series of major media interviews before heading to the west coast as early voting gets underway. A senior campaign official said Harris will sit for interviews in the coming days with radio host Howard Stern, late night host Stephen Colbert on “The Late Show,” and the hosts of “The View.”

Those appearances are in addition to a previously announced sit-down with “60 Minutes,” which will air Monday, and an appearance on the popular “Call Her Daddy” podcast that will be released Sunday. Harris’s media blitz comes as her campaign has thus far used targeted interviews to reach certain audiences. The vice president has sat for interviews with local outlets in battleground states, and she has done radio interviews and podcasts.

The audiences for her upcoming interviews will likely be larger, though. “The View” and “The Late Show” boast millions of viewers daily, Stern has more than 2 million subscribers on YouTube, and Alex Cooper, host of “Call Her Daddy,” has millions of followers on social media.

Harris will travel later in the week to Nevada and Arizona, the senior campaign official said. She will participate in a Univision town hall event and other campaign stops in Las Vegas on Thursday, the official said. On Friday, she will travel to Arizona to campaign and urge voters to cast their ballots early. Early voting begins in the state on Wednesday.

6. Not a Howard fan, but his interview with HRC was epic.

I posted it elsewhere here. It's something she should have done before the election, not after.

2. Still want her to sit down with Christiane Amanpour

for a really serious discussion of foreign affairs and national security, including the Middle East.

She is the best journalist going these days, and has an international reputation for competence and integrity.

3. and the talking heads will continue to complain that she isn't doing interviews, and people don't know where she

stands on the issues, and blah, blah, blah.

4. Exactly

Every time I read an article that says that I do this -

(it's like they are trying to kill her... but meanwhile, 45 will be jetting around in a golf cart and that's okay)
