Kamala Harris is facing the ire of TIME’s owner after she refused to sit for an interview with the renowned news magazine.

The vice president has refused to sit for an interview with several legacy media outlets since taking over Joe Biden’s campaign leading the Democratic 2024 presidential ticket and has faced a slew of criticism for her sparse media strategy.

Marc Benioff wrote of his disappointment on X, claiming Time Magazine has reached out several times for an interview with the presidential nominee.

‘Despite multiple requests, TIME has not been granted an interview with Kamala Harris—unlike every other Presidential candidate,’ the owner posted on Sunday.

Benioff included a link to interviews Time Magazine conducted with former President Donald Trump and President Biden when he was still running for reelection in 2024.

'We believe in transparency and publish each interview in full,' he added in the post. 'Why isn't the Vice President engaging with the public on the same level?'

The denouncement of Harris' refusal to interview with the magazine comes as CBS News faces intense backlash for favorably editing its 60 Minutes interview with the candidate.

A Time article published on October 10 titled What Kind of President Would Kamala Harris Be? notes that the VP '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,' they added in that article.

Critics, especially pro-MAGA social media accounts, have brought into question Harris' media strategy ahead of the election. 

There are only 22 days until the election next month and Harris has not gone full court press on media appearances like most candidates tend to do in the runup to Election Day.

The VP has engaged in some questionable interviews, like with the raunchy and sex-focused podcast Call Her Daddy. And she has snubbed some more traditional interviews like with Time Magazine or legacy television outlets to instead appear on radio shows like with Howard Stern or Charlamagne Tha God, who she will sit down with in Detroit on Tuesday.

But, Harris has agreed to a select few traditional, sit-down interviews – like with 60 Minutes and with CNN where she appeared alongside running mate and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.

While refusing a Time interview, Harris did post for a photoshoot with possibly the most famous fashion magazine.

Vogue Magazine published their glowing profile of the vice president on Friday, revealing a long narrative of what life is like for her ever since Biden dropped out and she took over his campaign.

Harris sat for an interview and participated in a photoshoot with famed photographer Annie Leibovitz at the vice president's residence on October 7th.

The cover described Harris as 'the candidate for our times' and features her wearing a Gabriela Hearst suit and $800 Tiffany earrings.
