In the home stretch of the American presidential election, Kamala Harris once again finds herself at the heart of the debates. During a town hall event in Michigan hosted by Kamala Harris’ campaign, journalist Maria Shriver admitted that only “predetermined” questions would be allowed.
In response to a member of the public who wanted to know if voters would be able to ask Kamala Harris questions directly, Maria Shriver explained that this would not be possible and that she would ask questions that “might” correspond to those of the public , explains Fox News.
Strong criticism from Donald Trump’s camp
Following this update from the journalist, the event sparked numerous criticisms, notably from supporters of Donald Trump, who criticized Kamala Harris for wanting to avoid a real dialogue with voters by limiting the questions to those which were predefined upstream. Steven Cheung, spokesperson for Donald Trump’s campaign, denounced this aspect on social networks, declaring that “the Democrats don’t even hide it anymore”.
This isn’t the first time Kamala Harris has been accused of avoiding interviews and unprepared questions during her campaign. But the vice president has tried to counter those criticisms by participating in several recent interviews, including with Fox News and CBS’s “60 Minutes,” as well as popular radio shows like “The Breakfast Club” and podcasts such as “Call Her Daddy”.
