Almost three weeks after emerging as the Democratic Party’s new presumptive presidential nominee, Kamala Harris decided that it was time to chat on the record with the press.

“Whatcha got?” the confident-looking veep joked as she approached reporters on the tarmac in Detroit on Thursday, August 8, taking off her sunglasses for dramatic effect. Then came an approximately one-minute-long gaggle with the press, during which she fielded a few softball questions before reassuring the American people that she has talked to her team and wants “to get an interview scheduled before the end of the month.”
