Bloomberg Editor Blasts Kamala Harris for Refusing ‘Interview About Her Economic Plans’

Bloomberg’s Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait has blasted Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris for refusing to sit down for an interview with the outlet.

Micklethwait revealed that Bloomberg has been requesting an interview with the vice president to discuss “her economic plans.”

However, Micklethwait said Harris “has declined so far.”

The top journalist made the comment at the beginning of an interview with President Donald Trump at the Economic Club of Chicago.

“Just for the record and those people watching on television, the Economic Club of Chicago and Bloomberg both invited Vice President Harris to a similar interview about her economic plans — she has declined so far,” Micklethwait said.

WATCH:

Harris was similarly called out over the weekend by Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff.

Benioff says Harris is refusing to do an interview with his magazine, TIME.

Both Trump and President Joe Biden, before he dropped out of the 2024 election, had done interviews with the magazine.

“Despite multiple requests, TIME has not been granted an interview with Kamala Harris — unlike every other Presidential candidate,” he said in a post on X.

“We believe in transparency and publish each interview in full. Why isn’t the Vice President engaging with the public on the same level?”

Still, Harris has begun to ramp up her interview schedule in the final weeks before Election Day.

It comes after she has been largely ducking the press early in her campaign.

Harris has also been facing claims that she struggles without a teleprompter.

The shift comes as polling shows Harris and Trump in a close race.

However, Trump has the “edge” on top issues in swing states, The Wall Street Journal reported last week, and he is surging ahead in betting markets.

Harris recently participated in a slew of relatively friendly interviews.

She has appeared on Democrat-allied shows including ABC’s “The View,” Sirius XM radio host Howard Stern, late-night host Stephen Colbert on CBS, and Alex Cooper’s podcast “Call Her Daddy.”

Another interview with CBS News’ “60 Minutes” drew controversy because the network deceptively edited remarks from Harris.

The issue led to calls for more transparency and an investigation.

Harris has interviews with liberal radio host Charlamagne Tha God and Fox News scheduled this week.

During his interview at the Economic Club of Chicago, Trump defended his sweeping plan to implement tariffs on imports.

Micklethwait noted it would have a “massive” effect on the economy.

WATCH:

“I agree it’s going to have a massive effect — positive effect … it must be hard for you to spend 25 years talking about tariffs as being negative and then have somebody explain to you that you’re totally wrong,” Trump said.
