But there are still 30 days until the November 5 election, early voting has begun, and the Harris and Trump campaigns are currently engaged in a fierce battle for television broadcast rights.
In July, when Harris entered the presidential race after President Joe Biden ended his reelection bid, the early stages of her nascent campaign dominated the news cycle.
Since then, Trump has worked hard to regain media attention.
In addition to appearances on Fox News, which is more friendly to Republican candidates, Trump has also been interviewed on podcasts popular with young people, such as “This Past Weekend with Theo Von” and “The Lex Friedman Podcast.” He also interviews Dr. Phil and former Navy SEAL Sean Ryan. Additionally, in August, Trump held a much-hyped conversation with close ally Musk on the X social media platform.
Amid Harris’ fast-moving campaign, the vice president spoke to CNN, a panel from the National Association of Black Journalists, MSNBC and some local branches.
