Vice President Kamala Harris is displaying one of President Joe Biden‘s biggest “flaws” as she campaigns to succeed Biden in the White House, according to former President George W. Bush.
Republicans have been criticizing Harris, who formally accepted her party’s nomination for president at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago last week, for failing to agree to a major media interview since entering the race on July 21.
Harris told reporters at a campaign event this month that she had asked her team to schedule an interview “before the end of the month.” Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump, the Republican presidential candidate, frequently participates in media interviews.

Scott Jennings, a senior political commentator for KeynoteUSA who served during the Bush administration as special assistant to the president for political affairs, linked Harris’ lack of scheduled interviews to Biden’s perceived indecisiveness in a Tuesday post on X, formerly Twitter.
“One of Biden’s biggest flaws: a lack of decisiveness. And now Harris is displaying the same traits,” Jennings said. wrote while sharing a clip of himself discussing the topic of the interview minutes earlier on KeynoteUSA.
During his appearance on KeynoteUSA, Jennings criticized Harris’ campaign for scheduling a one-on-one interview.
“Look at the amount of angst in the Harris campaign over a simple decision,” Jennings said. “They don’t know how, where, when and who to interview. A simple decision.”
“Do we want to put her in charge of the country and make all kinds of complex decisions? She can’t even decide when and how to do an interview.”
Newsweek reached out to Harris’ campaign by email on Tuesday for comment.
Jennings then offered Democrats some advice as a political strategist, suggesting that Harris should try to distance herself from Biden in any interviews that take place.
“If I were advising them, I would tell them to pick someone and go in and be prepared to deal with the discrepancies in their record,” Jennings said. “Now they have all these anonymous press releases saying they don’t support anything they used to support. They’re going to have to face it head on.
“Secondly, she’s going to have to acknowledge that Joe Biden made some mistakes. If she’s not willing to do that, she’s going to put on the Biden suit and that’s going to make it harder for her to win… Trump will have her for the rest of the fall basically as a continuation of the Biden agenda.”
Jennings’ KeynoteUSA colleague Van Jones, a former adviser to President Barack Obama, said during a post-Democratic National Convention broadcast last week that he believed Harris could escape Biden’s baggage “without penalty.”
