Harris needs to do more interviews to win over undecided swing state voters, urges CNN commentator
CNN political commentator S.E. Cupp urged on Monday that Vice President Kamala Harris needed to do more interviews if she wanted to win over undecided voters because they “still have questions” about the vice president.
“Kamala Harris still has to introduce herself to people. We‘re hearing that over and over again from swing state voters, they don‘t know her enough, so they should both want another debate,” Cupp said, noting Trump needed to change the momentum in the race. “They still have questions about Kamala Harris.”
Harris has sat for a few interviews since emerging as the Democratic nominee but has yet to hold a formal press conference.
“So they might stay home. They might vote third party but, they are wanting to hear more from Kamala Harris,” Cupp said, referring to undecided voters. “She has identified the correct problems, they say they don‘t have enough specifics on the solutions. Both politically and practically. What would she do to solve X problem, inflation, for example? And how would she get Congress to go along with it? These are two things that American voters – they‘re not stupid – they see as real political realities and problems and they want to know more.”

CNN’s John Berman noted that Harris would be speaking to voters in Georgia about the economy and wondered if it would be heard nationally.
“Nationally, no they won‘t, which is why she needs more interviews. This is not just S.E. Cupp or journalism asking for more interviews, right? This is because voters are telling us they still have questions. And that media interaction could come in the form of a town hall. It could be podcasts and other kinds of unconventional media, but she‘s got to do more,” Cupp warned.
Harris sat for an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash, alongside her running mate Gov. Tim Walz, following over a month of pressure and questions surrounding her first sit-down. She has since done a couple of local radio interviews, as well as a solo sit-down with a Philadelphia TV station.
Harris also recently did interviews with the National Association of Black Journalists and with Oprah Winfrey, who endorsed Harris, at a campaign event.

The vice president has been criticized for lacking specific answers and dodging questions during the interviews she has done.
“This week she couldn’t or wouldn’t answer a single question straight, and people could see it. She is an artless dodger,” The Wall Street Journal’s Peggy Noonan wrote, suggesting voters have a choice between “awful and empty.”

“She owes us these answers. It is wrong that she can’t or won’t address them. It is disrespectful to the electorate,” Noonan wrote, arguing that avoiding questions on illegal immigration was “political malpractice.”

Format
The NCAA organizes six regional tournaments, and each field consists of 12 teams and six individuals. After three rounds of stroke play at a regional tournament, the top five teams from each location advance to the national championship. The top individual on a non-advancing team from each regional site advances as well.
The Course
The UGA Golf Course has received numerous accolades during its 55+ years of existence. It is a fixture in Golfweek Magazine’s collegiate golf course rankings, coming in at #26 in 2022. In the state of Georgia, the UGA Golf Course is ranked as the 12th best public golf course to play by Golfweek Magazine. GolfAdvisor, which is more focused on customer reviews, ranked the UGA Golf Course as the #1 course in Georgia, the #1 collegiate course in the U.S., and the 10th best course in the nation to play according to data collected in 2021.
In May 2006, Love Golf Design of St. Simons Island was hired to renovate the green complexes and add 21 new tees to both lengthen and shorten the golf course to improve playability for all golfer abilities. The new championship Bulldog Tees stretched the course to almost 7,300 yards and provided the best collegiate and professional golfers with a very stern test. The golf course reopened in December 2006 to rave reviews.

How Vandy Got Here
Vandy put together another nationally relevant season in 2026, spending much of the spring ranked inside the top 15 and consistently competing against elite SEC and national fields. Under head coach Scott Limbaugh, the Commodores combined veteran leadership with one of the country’s strongest young cores.
The season was highlighted by several strong tournament finishes, including a runner-up performance at the Mason Rudolph Championship in Nashville, where Vanderbilt finished behind Auburn after shooting under par in all three rounds. Freshman Jon Ed Steed emerged as one of the team’s breakout stars with multiple top-five individual finishes during the spring.
Senior standout Wells Williams anchored the roster throughout the year and earned first-team All-SEC honors, while Steed was named to the SEC All-Freshman Team. Williams also repeated as SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year, becoming the first Commodore golfer to win the award in consecutive seasons.
At the SEC Championship in Sea Island, Vanderbilt entered as a top-10/top-15 caliber team nationally, but the tournament ended disappointingly. The Commodores were in contention entering the final stretch before a difficult closing round dropped them to 15th place overall at 3-over par, ending their SEC title hopes early.
