Bloomberg editor: Harris declined interview on economy

Vice President Harris has “so far declined” an invitation to talk about her economic agenda with the Economic Club of Chicago and Bloomberg News, one of the outlet’s editors said Tuesday.

“For the record and for those watching on television, the Economic Club of Chicago and Bloomberg both invited Vice President Harris to a similar interview about her economic plans,” Bloomberg Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait said during an event with former President Trump. “She has so far declined.”

Micklethwait clashed with Trump during the live sit-down over the Republican nominee’s insistence that tariffs would not have negative consequences in a possible second term.

Trump canceled a previously scheduled interview with CNBC earlier Tuesday, citing his upcoming chat with Micklethwait.

With three weeks until Election Day and polls showing the race for president closer than ever, both Harris and Trump are participating in a flurry of media interviews and public appearances as they seek to shore up support.

Harris is slated to sit for a high-stakes interview with Fox News on Wednesday evening, while Trump is scheduled to appear on the network hours earlier as part of a town hall focusing on women’s issues.
