Kamala Harris can say whatever she likes about Donald Trump dodging the media, but the numbers tell a different story. In a classic twist of irony, while Harris has accused Trump of hiding, it turns out that he has outperformed her in the media game by a mile. The Wall Street Journal has provided clear evidence showing that Trump, the supposed recluse, has made considerably more media appearances than Harris since she officially became the Democratic nominee. One might wonder where Harris was hiding while Trump was busy talking to numerous outlets.
Both candidates are in hot pursuit of vital voter bases. Harris is trying to rally Black male voters, while Trump aims to garner support from women. With both parties keen on making inroads with Latino voters, the stakes are high. The candidates’ attempts to connect with these demographics have led to a frantic media blitz, particularly in an era where a solid podcast appearance can be as impactful as a primetime network interview.
Kamala is now out with a hilarious new talking point: President Trump is being "hid away" from the public
Trump/Vance have done more interviews, rallies, and campaign events than her by a country mile

The sheer volume of Trump’s media engagements speaks volumes. He has racked up an impressive number of appearances—28 on legacy TV, 10 on radio, and 7 on podcasts—while Harris can only muster a mere 12 TV appearances and 2 podcast interviews. Sure, Trump has faced tough questioning on networks like ABC, enduring grilling from reporters who clearly did not favor him. Yet, he managed to articulate coherent responses, contrasting with Harris, who often stumbles through her interviews, leaving viewers puzzled and wondering about her grasp of the topics at hand.
As the election season races toward its conclusion, the disparity in media exposure could not be starker. Harris’s campaign seems to be in freefall, struggling in the polls and faltering during public appearances. The internet is rife with chatter about her lackluster interview with Bret Baier, which resembled more of a train wreck than a well-crafted political dialogue. Harris appears to be spiraling from one misstep to another, all while Trump continues to dominate the media landscape.
The panic within the Democratic camp is palpable. Originally starting with Joe Biden, their candidate has failed to inspire much confidence, leading to what many interpret as a disastrous campaign effort. The battle has become a lopsided affair, as Trump and his allies, like JD Vance, shine brightly on the media stage. They are bringing forth a clear and cogent message, a stark contrast to the confusion that seems to characterize the Democrat side of the aisle. The American electorate is watching as the curtain rises on this election, and it’s becoming increasingly clear which team is winning in the public eye.
