The New York Times: There is little time, very little, and Kamala Harris misses chance after chance  - 1

Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris has been criticized for a lackluster campaign amid polls showing an increase in the approval rating of her Republican opponent Donald Trump in the fluctuating states. Criticisms also appeared on the pages of the American newspaper The New York Times, whose editors previously announced their support for Harris in the race for the White House.

According to journalist Maureen Dowd, the US vice president does not show "speed" in the fight against Trump.

"There is little time, very little. She needs to be more aggressive. It doesn't strike me that he has a predatory instinct. She misses chance after chance. I'm scared to death. She must hit the enemy – and urgently“, American political consultant Charles Carville commented to the publication.

The article compared Harris to Hillary Clinton, who lost to Trump because she "didn't campaign hard enough”.

The author writes that the vice president's recent interviews have been unsuccessful because she has only answered questions, rather than asking them, of Trump voters. At the same time, "even after being asked simple questions by friendly TV hosts, Harris sometimes seemed unsure of the answers.

The journalist also writes that Harris does not have a common vision for his goals as president.

"It's hard to understand why she hasn't sat down with a notebook or laptop for a long time to decide why she wants to be president, what her top priorities are and how she's going to implement them... Basically her argument is that she's not Donald Trump“, the article says.

"It is worrying that Harris cannot overcome the obstacles and overtake Trump... She must act so that we do not lose,”, the journalist sums up.
