Democrats fear Kamala Harris being increasingly MIA during campaign home stretch: ‘What the f–k are y’all doing’

Where’s Kam?

It’s a question a growing number of Democrats are asking as the vice president is increasingly MIA on the campaign trail as the 2024 presidential contest enters its final month.

“There’s a time at which you just have to barnstorm these battlegrounds,” Obama campaign guru David Axelrod told Politico. “These races are decathlons, and there are a lot of events, and you have to do all of them because people want to test you.”

Axelrod said Harris needed to be doing more interviews, including with tougher audiences, and that voters were expecting to see more of her.

While Trump has flooded the zone in rallies around the country, Harris has played it safe. Her campaign has done almost no interviews, and her interactions with voters has been extremely limited. Top Democratic operatives are now fretting the approach is dangerously similar to Hillary Clinton’s doomed 2016 campaign.

Since the Democratic convention in August, Harris has spent a third of her time either receiving briefings or locked away in meetings, according to an analysis of her schedule by Politico.

Nearly half of her days since the convention have been in Washington D.C.

“What the f— are y’all doing in the Harris campaign, get her out there now, now!” raged famed Democratic strategist James Carville during a podcast appearance this week, saying Harris needed to be doing more.
