Harris and Walz embark on media blitz amid Republican criticism that they’re avoiding press
With 30 days to Election Day, Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, are launching a media blitz that began on Sunday, with the two set to appear in a handful of interviews with traditional and new media figures, a senior Harris campaign official told NBC News.
The two sat down with CBS’ “60 Minutes” for separate interviews that will air on Monday, and each will appear on late-night comedy shows later this week. Harris will appear on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” on Tuesday while Walz will sit down with Jimmy Kimmel for the Monday edition of “Jimmy Kimmel Live.”
While in New York on Tuesday, Harris is also set to appear on “The View” and “The Howard Stern Show.”

Trump will participate in an Oct. 7 remembrance event in Florida alongside Jewish community leaders, according to his campaign.
Trump’s campaign attacked Harris in the news release about the remembrance event, saying “inept and failed policies of the Harris-Biden Administration have enabled the Iranian-backed proxies that have sewn a path of death and destruction, resulting in catastrophic global ramifications.”
