It's depressing how little coverage she gets; the White House has been putting her out there more, but I rarely hear any in depth discussions of what she's doing--or any discussion, really, except her campaign work on women's health issues. She goes to international meetings and we get pictures, but not much talk about what was accomplished. The coverage is all so lightweight. I wonder how much is a PR failure and how much is the media.
It’s not just her though. Biden doesn’t get much attention either (I’m not talking about editorials talking about how good or bad he is). Biden actually does a lot of events they just aren’t covered. Kamala has been doing a ton of events too. You know what her campaign team said “we can’t get anyone to show up!” Literally she invites national reporters on Air Force 2 to go with her to events they just don’t think it’s interesting. I highly recommend that you listen to the most relent Ezra Klein interview with a reporter that wrote a book about her. They talk about this in depths.
In my mind here is the fundamental problem: Biden and Harris are pretty normal run of the mill politicians. They are competing for coverage with an entire movement that is insane. They say and do crazy shit like every day. They just can’t breakthrough.
You never hear about Harris/biden meeting/events because they are boring but what the media wants is wwe.
What makes it worst is that because the media always has to be negative they only cover Biden or Harris when they make a mistake. We are immune to trumps crazy but dems mistakes make us think this happens all the time.
From last week. She also talks about her weaknesses and strengths but the part about the press just not being interested in anything she does says a lot.

The WWE problem is real. Thanks for the tip about the Ezra interview; will look for it.
