(NewsNation) — Vice President Kamala Harris will officially receive the Democratic presidential nomination on Thursday at the Democratic National Convention.

But, it comes amidst a campaign light on detail and, thus far, largely scripted.

Harris has not yet spoken to the public or media without a teleprompter or script in front of her. According to Axios, she has agreed to an interview by the end of this month.

The Vice President did unveil her most notable scheme to this point during a rally in Raleigh, North Carolina on Friday.

Despite previously supporting “Medicare for All”, Harris has pivoted away from the approach while also looking to distance herself from the economy under the Biden-Harris Administration.

Most of Harris’ rhetoric thus far has focused on abortion and her as an alternative to Republican nominee and former President Donald Trump.

Harris proposed the elimination of taxes on tips earlier this month, a position long adopted by the 45th president.

Democratic heavyweights have unequivocally rallied behind Harris since President Joe Biden relinquished his position as the incumbent last month.

Naturally, Republicans have critiqued Harris’ approach since all-but-assuming the Democratic nomination, with Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., arguing she is “hiding from her record.”

Sources confirmed to NewsNation last week the Harris campaign has begun preparation for the first debate against Trump on Sep. 10.

While Harris is leading Trump in multiple swing states, it remains to be seen if this trend will continue once she has more off-script appearances.
