The owner of TIME magazine criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for repeatedly dodging interview requests in the final weeks before Election Day.
“Despite multiple requests, TIME has not been granted an interview with Kamala Harris — unlike every other Presidential candidate,” Marc Benioff wrote 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? #TrustMatters #TransparencyMatters #Leadership.”

The Democratic donor also highlighted a section from a TIME profile of Harris that ran last week noting that even former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden (prior to exiting the race) sat for interviews.
“Harris declined repeated requests for an interview for this story. In contrast, Trump talked about his policy vision with a TIME reporter for 90 minutes across two interviews. Biden spoke to TIME at similar length before dropping out of the race.” https://t.co/5wUbsStjep https://t.co/LpWExppPwb pic.twitter.com/1bvwzSSvbd
