Hillary Clinton forcefully argued that Vice President Kamala Harris did not have to make clear her coverage positions in interviews and stated that the 2024 Democratic candidate was going through a “double standard” from voters and the media.
“She does not have to do it, Kara. I'm going to just cut to the chase,” Clinton informed journalist and podcast host Kara Swisher on the “On with Kara Swisher” podcast this week.
“In fact, she's put out policies on her campaign website. Anybody who's truly interested can go and read about them. She referenced policies. She actually doesn't just have policies and concepts. She has plans about what to do,” Clinton stated, referring to a coverage web page Harris added to her marketing campaign web site earlier this month.
“I think it's, um, you know, it's a double standard, and it's a double standard that is partly because they are still getting to know her. But also because they're still grappling with the idea like, ‘Oh, am I really going to vote for a woman to be president and commander in chief?’” she continued.

Clinton had extra criticisms about the media's protection of the two candidates in one other interview with a left-wing host this week.
While on MSNBC, Clinton informed host Rachel Maddow, “The press is still not able to cover Trump the way that they should.”
“They careen from one outrage to the next… I don’t understand why it’s so difficult for the press to have a consistent narrative about how dangerous Trump is. You know, the late great journalist Harry Evans one time said that journalists should, you know, really try to achieve objectivity, and by that, he said, I mean they should cover the object. Well, the object in this case is Donald Trump. His demagoguery, his danger to our country and the world. And stick with it,” she continued.
Her remarks come on the heels of a second assassination try towards the former president.

Routh had beforehand echoed Biden and Harris' anti-Trump feedback that “Democracy is on the ballot” on his social media pages this 12 months and that Democrats “cannot lose.”
In July, Trump narrowly survived one other assassination try after he was shot at whereas internet hosting a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
