Former President Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, have sat down for at least 60 interviews since the Harris-Walz ticket was formed, compared to 21 non-scripted interviews for the Democratic presidential ticket thus far.

After weeks of avoiding interviews, Vice President Kamala Harris has stepped up her appearances in recent days, largely by sitting down with allies. Harris spoke with MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhlefor her first one-on-one network interview since becoming the nominee. Harris also spoke earlier this month with supporter Oprah Winfrey; while it had interview elements, it functioned more as a campaign event with celebrity guests.

Harris also taped 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 on Saturday.

In recent days, Wisconsin Public Radio interviewed Harris where she announced that she supports removing the filibuster in order to pass abortion rights legislation, and she has also spoken to Wired, a Spanish radio host and the National Association of Black Journalists.

Harris was also interviewed by Action News 6 ABC earlier this month in Philadelphia, which came on the heels of a report that her campaign is looking for her to do more local interviews in swing states like Pennsylvania. 

Meanwhile, Trump has been all over and sat down with “Full Measure” journalist Sharyl Attkisson on Sunday for an interview in which he made news by suggesting he will not run again in four years if he loses to Harris in November. 

Trump also recently sat down for an interview with Fox News contributor and Washington Post columnist Marc Thiessen. On Wednesday night, he joined Fox News late-night show “Gutfeld!” for an extended appearance, and he spoke with Fox’s Brian Kilmeade last week as well. 

Vance has done dozens of interviews since the Harris-Walz ticket formed on Aug. 6, including another three Sunday show appearances and interviews with CNN, Fox News and ABC in the aftermath of the ABC News Presidential Debate between Trump and Harris earlier this month. 

Vance spoke with Time magazine for a lengthy cover profile that was published on Thursday, he also spoke with an NBC affiliate in Philadelphia over the weekend.

Harris’ running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, has begun doing more local interviews, speaking with Georgia, Wisconsin and North Carolina TV stations this week. He spoke with MSNBC and ABC after last week’s debate, and he was interviewed by Michigan station Fox 17 last week.

Harris also taped two radio interviews earlier this month with Uforia, the audio network of TelevisaUnivision, and Rickey Smiley, host of the nationally syndicated “Rickey Smiley Show.” She also called into “Afternoon Vibes with Ms. Jessica,” another radio program.

Walz also spoke earlier this month to WCMU radio in Michigan, in addition to speaking with “The Morning News with Nancy Kman and Jason Barsky” on WILK in Pennsylvania and “The Chad Holmes Show” on WXCO in Wisconsin.

Harris and Walz ended their extended interview drought last month when they talked with CNN’s Dana Bash in Georgia after weeks of stonewalling the media.

Since Aug. 6, when the Harris-Walz ticket was formed, Trump has spoken with, among others, Fox News, NBC News, The Daily Mail, Hugh Hewitt, the New York Post and local outlets like WBRE News Wilkes-Barre and WLOS News 13 Asheville, as well as podcaster Lex Fridman and X owner Elon Musk.

Vance has made appearances on Fox News, NBC News, CBS News, ABC News, CNBC and CNN, in addition to multiple podcasts.

Harris still has not held a formal press conference since replacing President Biden as the Democratic nominee. Trump took questions at a news conference last week in California, his third extended presser in recent weeks.
