Former President Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, have given at least 68 interviews since the formation of the Harris-Walz ticket, compared to at least 30 unscheduled interviews for the Democratic presidential ticket so far . .
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz joined “Fox News Sunday” for an interview Sunday, in which he pressed past lies, such as his claim that he was present at China’s Tiananmen Square protests in 1989, and he also recorded interviews Monday with Jimmy Kimmel and the “Smartless” podcast.
After weeks of avoiding interviews, Vice President Kamala Harris has increased her appearances in recent weeks. She and Walz participated in an interview with “60 Minutes” that aired in its entirety Monday night, and did a friendly interview on ABC’s “The View” on Tuesday, which will be followed by another stop with the host of Howard Stern radio. She will be interviewed Tuesday evening by Democratic Party supporter and comedian Stephen Colbert.
She also spoke with MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle last month for her first one-on-one interview since becoming the nominee. Harris added two local recorded interviews with news stations in Atlanta and Pittsburgh and also recorded an interview last week with the popular podcast “Call Her Daddy.”
Harris also made an appearance on the “All the Smoke” podcast hosted by former NBA players Stephen Jackson and Matt Barnes. On a similar sports front, Trump was interviewed by OutKick’s Clay Travis while attending the Georgia-Alabama football game last week and was also interviewed by Fox News’ Bill Melugin on Thursday. On Monday, to mark the anniversary of the Oct. 7 terrorist attack, he was interviewed by radio host Sid Rosenberg, as well as Fox News’ Laura Ingraham.

In recent weeks, Wisconsin Public Radio interviewed Harris where she announced that she supports removing the filibuster in order to pass abortion rights legislation, and she also spoke to Wired, a Spanish radio host and the National Association of Black Journalists.
Harris was also interviewed by Action News 6 ABC last month in Philadelphia, following a report that her campaign was asking her to do more local interviews in key states like Pennsylvania.
Meanwhile, Trump has been everywhere, meeting with “Full Measure” reporter Sharyl Attkisson last week for an interview in which he made news by suggesting he wouldn’t run again in four years if he loses against Harris in November. He was interviewed Tuesday by conservative commentator Ben Shapiro.
Trump also recently gave an interview to Fox News contributor and Washington Post columnist Marc Thiessen and joined Fox News’ late-night show “Gutfeld!” for an extended appearance, and he spoke with Fox’s Brian Kilmeade.
Vance has conducted dozens of interviews since the formation of the Harris-Walz ticket on August 6, including several appearances on Sunday shows and interviews with CNN, Fox News and ABC following the ABC News presidential debate between Trump and Harris last month.
He was interviewed on the popular podcast “Ruthless” last week, spoke with a Pennsylvania TV station on Saturday and did an interview Monday morning with “Fox & Friends.”
Vance spoke with Fox News host Sean Hannity live from the Spin Room last week after the CBS News vice presidential debate, where he addressed Harris’ lack of availability.
“She doesn’t answer for anything because she refuses to do interviews,” Vance said.
Vance also recently spoke with Time magazine for a lengthy cover profile, and he spoke with an NBC affiliate in Philadelphia.
