Trump-Vance ticket has done combined 71 interviews since August compared to 36 for Harris-Walz

Former President Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, have sat down for at least 71 interviews since the Harris-Walz ticket was formed, compared to at least 36 non-scripted interviews for the Democratic presidential ticket thus far.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz joined “Fox News Sunday” for an interview on Sunday, where he was pressed on past falsehoods, such as his claim he was present for the Tiananmen Square protests in China in 1989, and he also taped interviews on Monday with Jimmy Kimmel and the “Smartless” podcast. This week, he also spoke with an Arizona news station and ABC News, where he defended his call for getting rid of the Electoral College.

After weeks of avoiding interviews, Vice President Kamala Harris has stepped up her appearances in recent weeks. She, along with Walz, sat for an interview with “60 Minutes” that aired in full on Monday night, and she did friendly interviews with ABC’s “The View” and Howard Stern on Tuesday. She was also interviewed by Democratic Party supporter and comedian Stephen Colbert Tuesday night. On Wednesday as Hurricane Milton closed in on Florida, Harris spoke with CNN and The Weather Channel for separate interviews.

She also spoke with MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle last month for her first one-on-one network interview since becoming the nominee. Harris added a pair of taped local interviews with Atlanta and Pittsburgh news stations and also taped an interview last week with the popular “Call Her Daddy” podcast.

Harris also made 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 last week and also was interviewed by Fox News’ Bill Melugin on Thursday. On Monday, to mark the anniversary of the Oct. 7 terrorist attack, he was interviewed by radio hosts Hugh Hewitt and Sid Rosenberg, and he was also interviewed by Fox News’ Laura Ingraham.

In recent weeks, 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 last 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 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. He was interviewed by conservative commentator Ben Shapiro on Tuesday, as well as Newsmax, and appeared on the “Flagrant” podcast on Wednesday.

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

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

He was interviewed on the popular “Ruthless” podcast last week, spoke with a Pennsylvania TV station on Saturday and did an interview Monday morning with “Fox & Friends.”

Harris also taped two radio interviews 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 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.
