Marc Benioff, the CEO of the software company Salesforce and owner of TIME magazine, criticized Kamala Harris for refusing to sit down for an interview with the publication. “Despite multiple requests, TIME has not been granted an interview with Kamala Harris—unlike every other Presidential candidate. We believe in transparency and publish each interview in full. Why isn’t the Vice President engaging with the public on the same level?” Benioff wrote.

Biden spoke to TIME at similar length before dropping out of the race,” he added, citing an article from the publication. “Harris declined repeated requests for an interview for this story.

Yet she has skirted the thorough accounting of her policy evolution that Lopez is seeking, in part by speaking infrequently to reporters. When she does do interviews, she mostly favors local media, culture podcasts, or friendly talk shows. Harris declined repeated requests for an interview for this story. In contrast, Trump talked about his policy vision with a TIME reporter for 90 minutes across two interviews. Biden spoke to TIME at similar length before dropping out of the race. Harris is running on what she won’t do as much as what she would. She won’t curb abortion rights, as Republicans want to do. She won’t impose Trump’s blanket tariffs, which most economists believe would raise prices and could throw the country into a recession (hers are more narrowly targeted). She won’t initiate the mass deportation of undocumented immigrants, as Trump promises, or fire legions of civil servants and replace them with MAGA loyalists.

Harris sat for an interview with “60 Minutes” that aired on Oct. 7, and has also done friendly interviews with ABC’s “The View,” Stephen Colbert and Howard Stern on Oct. 8. A day later, as Hurricane Milton closed in on Florida, Harris did separate interviews with CNN and The Weather Channel. A Fox News Digital analysis found that in the time since Harris named Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate in August, she and Walz have held at least 41 non-scripted interviews as of Oct. 14. By contrast, former President Trump and Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, have done at least 76 interviews in that timeframe. Harris’ campaign agreed on Monday to an interview with Fox News political anchor Bret Baier in Pennsylvania. Fox News said it will be her first formal interview with the network. Kamala Harris Agrees To Fox News Interview, Here’s When “It will air on the October 16 edition of Baier’s ‘Special Report’ at 6 p.m. ET. Baier will anchor ‘Special Report’ from the battleground state of Pennsylvania that evening,” Fox News wrote.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) hauled in a record $27.5 million in the third quarter this year giving Republicans a boost as they attempt to hold onto their narrow majority.  The fundraising total included $19.4 million for political action committees and $8.1 million for candidates, according to Punchbowl News. Johnson’s office told the outlet that it was the most money ever raised by a Republican speaker during the third quarter leading up to Election Day.  “In less than one year as Speaker, I’m thankful that we have been able to build a team and set new fundraising records that will ensure House Republicans can keep and grow our majority,” Johnson said. “Now with less than one month until the most important election of our lifetimes, another strong quarter shows voters are motivated down the stretch and ready to elect Republicans up and down the ballot to fix our economy, secure the border, and restore peace through strength.” As Republicans hold onto just an eight-seat majority in the House, control of the chamber is expected to be up for grabs again in November. With 218 seats needed for a majority, current projections show Republicans with 212 likely or leaning seats and Democrats with 208 likely or leaning seats, with an additional 15 races expected to be toss-ups.  Last week, the Congressional Leadership Fund, a PAC aligned with Johnson and House Republican leadership, announced that it had raised $81.4 million in the third quarter, which it said was its all-time record for fundraising in a quarter. As of September 30, CLF said it had raised a total of 212.2 million for the 2024 election cycle and had $153 million cash on hand. “With just four weeks from Election Day, we are invested deeply and continuing to strategically add more in the must-win races that will determine the Majority,” said CLF President Dan Conston. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28 Despite the record haul from CLF, Democrats still have a fundraising edge. The House Majority PAC, a Democrat-aligned group, said it raised $99 million in the third quarter, beating the CLF by $18 million.  “HMP could not be more proud to have bested our Republican counterparts in Q3, erasing the GOP Super PAC advantage as the candidate fundraising gap continues to grow for Democrats,” said House Majority PAC President Mike Smith. “In the four weeks leading up to Election Day, we believe our record-breaking fundraising and strategic advantage in reserving crucial television and digital time at optimal rates will allow us to take back the House in November.” On the presidential side, Vice President Kamala Harris has also been attracting big donors. Since entering the race in July, Harris has raised more than $1 billion — which includes the campaign and a campaign-affiliated joint fundraising committee. This does not include other aligned PACs backing her campaign.  Former President Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee have raised more than $850 million for the entire 2024 calendar year.
