Vice President Kamala Harris wrapped up a series of high-profile media appearances this week.
Harris participated in a media blitz that included interviews in various formats with vastly different audiences in an effort to reach Americans with her message with less than four weeks until Election Day.
The burst of media appearances ranged from hot-button political issues to personal topics.
Here are some key moments from the week.
’60 Minutes’ on CBS
Harris sat down for a wide-ranging “60 Minutes” interview that covered the economy, foreign policy, and immigration.
CBS correspondent Bill Whitaker notably pressed the vice president on immigration policies under the Biden-Harris administration in the interview that aired on Sunday.
Whitaker questioned Harris on why the administration didn’t crack down earlier on migrant surges at the southern border. Harris said that a bipartisan border bill was proposed to Congress in 2021, but Trump and Republicans derailed the measure.
Trump has long maintained that the bill was “weak” and “ineffective.”
Whitaker continued to press Harris on the issue and asked her if it was a mistake to loosen immigration policies as much as she did. Harris responded by saying that “it’s a longstanding problem” and that solutions have been offered “from day one.”
The democratic presidential nominee also said she would not meet one-on-one with Russian President Vladimir Putin to negotiate an end to the war with Ukraine.
“Ukraine must have a say in the future of Ukraine,” Harris stated.
‘Call her Daddy’ Podcast
Harris also hit the podcast circuit with an appearance on the popular “Call Her Daddy” program.
In an interview targeting a mostly younger, female audience, Harris sat down for an interview with podcaster Alex Cooper.
The podcast, which initially began as a program with exclusively explicit content, is currently listed as the number one podcast on Spotify. Cooper has also amassed 3.2 million followers on Instagram.
Sunday’s episode focused on issues affecting women and the younger generation.
Harris reiterated her commitment to reproductive rights. She also once again dismissed Trump’s claims that she, along with her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, support late-term abortions.
“That is not happening anywhere in the United States. It’s so insulting to suggest that that would be happening and that women would be doing that,” Harris said.
According to The Guttmacher Institute, the world’s leading authority on abortion research, nine states and the District of Columbia do not restrict abortion based on gestational duration.
In an Oct. 1 post on X, Trump outlined his stance on abortion, stating that he doesn’t support “the democrats radical position of late term abortions” and also doesn’t support a federal abortion ban.
Harris also talked about her plan to cut taxes for new parents and need to have a more open dialogue about child sexual abuse.
Howard Stern Radio Show
On-air personality Howard Stern surprised his 20 million listeners when he publicly supported Harris in the 2024 race during her appearance on his Sirius XM radio show on Tuesday.
Stern expressed his support for the vice president in an hourlong conversation that hit on mostly personal topics, such as nap time, Harris’s love of musical artist Prince, and her late mother.
But the most notable part of the interview was when Stern told Harris that she has won his vote.
“I don’t even understand how this election is close,” Stern stated.
Stern at one point said that Trump admired “strongmen” but that they are only “manipulating him full time.”
The interview sparked a response from Trump who accused Stern on his social media platform Truth Social of only asking her so many “softball questions.”
‘The View’
Harris on Tuesday sat down for an interview on ABC’s “The View.”
The top-ranked daytime talk show on ABC attracts a largely female audience, according to Nielsen’s.
The most notable moment of the interview happened when co-shot Sunny Hostin asked the vice president what she would have done differently than President Joe Biden over the last four years.
“There is not a thing that comes to mind in terms of—and I’ve been a part of most of the decisions that have had impact,” Harris said.
The Democratic presidential nominee went on to discuss the Biden administration’s efforts to limit the cost of insulin to $35 under Medicare.
Harris also said during the interview that she would tap a Republican to serve in her Cabinet.
Late Night with Stephen Colbert
In a more comedic interview, Harris on Tuesday evening appeared as a guest on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” on CBS.
Colbert also gave Harris an opportunity to address what the major changes would be in her administration and what would stay the same.
Harris said that she’s “obviously not Joe Biden, so that would be one change” but that she’s also “not Donald Trump.”
The vice president also cautioned residents impacted by Hurricane Helene against what she said was disinformation surrounding federal support in the storms’ aftermath.
“First of all, to all of those folks in North Carolina and Georgia, please know that people on the ground with FEMA are there to help you, you are entitled to it. There’s a lot of misinformation and I beseech you, I beg you not to listen to it,” Harris stated.
Harris earned applause from the audience when she accepted the comedian’s offer to drink a Miller High Life beer with him.
