Former President Donald Trump is ramping up his criticism of Vice President Kamala Harris following her recent successful media appearances. Harris’s interviews on CBS’s 60 Minutes and Fox News have gained widespread attention, sparking praise for her poise, especially during tough questioning from Fox’s Bret Baier. However, Trump has not taken kindly to her media blitz and is demanding drastic action in response.
Trump’s Outrage and Absurd Demands
On October 17, 2024, Trump took to Truth Social to voice his frustration, once again calling for the release of the unedited 60 Minutes interview with Harris. In a fiery post, Trump demanded that CBS be stripped of its broadcasting license, labeling the situation “the biggest scandal in broadcast history.” He accused CBS of “election interference” and insisted that 60 Minutes should be taken off the air immediately.
“Kamala should be investigated and forced off the campaign, and Joe Biden allowed to take back his rightful place. THIS WHOLE SORDID AND FRAUDULENT EVENT IS A THREAT TO DEMOCRACY!” Trump ranted on social media, referencing Biden’s decision to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race.

Harris Shines in Fox News Interview, Trump’s Criticism Continues
Despite Trump’s outbursts, Harris’s performance in her interviews has been well-received. Her latest interview with Bret Baier on Fox News showcased her ability to handle tough questions, with Baier repeatedly interrupting her to press on key issues. Harris navigated the conversation skillfully, earning praise from both sides of the political spectrum.
Trump, however, continued his criticism of Harris, calling her “slow, incoherent, and unqualified” to be President. While he commended Baier for conducting a tough but fair interview, he maintained that Harris’s responses were inadequate.
Trump’s Media Moves and Cancellation of Interviews
Trump’s criticism comes as he has been notably absent from major media platforms in recent weeks. Earlier this month, Trump canceled his own interview with CBS’s 60 Minutes and also withdrew from a scheduled CNBC appearance. As the Harris campaign continues to gain momentum, Trump’s refusal to engage with prominent media outlets raises questions about his approach in the lead-up to the 2024 election.
Despite his retreat from interviews, Trump remains active on Truth Social, using the platform to air his grievances and criticize Harris. His posts highlight ongoing tension between the two candidates, especially as Harris closes the gap in the polls.
Harris vs. Trump: The Race Heats Up
As the 2024 presidential election draws nearer, the competition between Harris and Trump intensifies. Harris’s ability to navigate high-pressure interviews, coupled with Trump’s continued social media tirades, sets the stage for a fiery election season. With Biden stepping aside and endorsing Harris, her campaign remains strong, and she continues to poll closely with Trump.
Meanwhile, Trump’s demands, including his absurd call for Biden to re-enter the race, have left many political observers puzzled. As the election heats up, both candidates face increasing scrutiny over their fitness for office, with Harris pressing Trump to release his medical records.
This election cycle promises to be one of the most contentious in recent history, as both candidates vie for the highest office in the nation.
