Permalinksteadily losing ground in most polls has run a flawless campaign so far.
Hostin made the comments during a Columbus Day broadcast of ABCs The View,
and she argued that if Harris was floundering in the polls, it was the media
to blame for not taking up for her as much as they should.

Hostin, responding to a series of polls that have shown Harris flagging with
men even black men and the latest NBC poll showed that any lead the vice
president had garnered from the September 10 debate has since evaporated.
Look, I think that Kamala Harris has been running a flawless campaign,
Hostin said, arguing that she would not have been able to raise $1 billion if
there was no real momentum behind her. I think its because people believe
in her, and I think people are showing that by the amount of money that they
are willing to give to the campaign.
I think we have the press to blame for a lot of this, she added. Whoopi,
you always say that you dont believe in polls. Im with you now, because Im
reading the press. First it was, Kamalas not doing enough press. Then she
goes on this huge press tour, she was here, with us, I thought she was
fantastic.
Hostin left out the fact that Harris, during her appearance on The View,
had flubbed even the softest of softball questions when she failed to answer
how she would do anything differently than President Joe Biden had.
The crowd went wild, it was electric, Hostin continued. CNN: Democrats
grow anxious; Axios: Blue wall blues; Fox: Dems are scared to death. No!
Dems are not scared to death. Dems are pumped.
Hostin went on to explain what she thought the press should be covering,
beginning by echoing Harris recent speech verbatim and claiming that Trump
was in hiding because he didnt do the 60 Minutes interview. She made no
mention of Harris refusal to do the traditional candidate sit-down with TIME
Magazine.
She concluded by arguing that they were too focused on former President
Barack Obamas insulting comments toward black men namely that if they
werent falling in line behind Harris, they were sexists and not focused
enough on his captivating formal speeches.
