Tiana Lowe Doescher suggests ‘there is a sense’ Big Tech cannot solely help Harris win – Washington Examiner
Tiana Lowe Doescher, writing for the Washington Examiner, suggests that Big Tech companies, including Meta, are beginning to realize they may not be able to effectively assist Vice President Kamala Harris in winning the 2024 election. Doescher highlights that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has indicated his company will resist any pressure from the Biden administration to censor content, which reflects a shift from the previous election cycle when Big Tech support was more decisive for the Biden-Harris campaign.
In her remarks on Fox Business, Doescher asserts that despite attempts to influence election outcomes, as seen with the treatment of candidates like Donald Trump and other Democratic contenders, these institutions alone cannot secure victory for Harris. She emphasizes Harris’s lack of engagement with the press and suggests that her upcoming interview with CNN represents a significant risk.
Doescher contrasts Harris’s media strategy with that of Republican J.D. Vance, who effectively communicates against the Biden administration in various interviews. Doescher’s analysis points to a challenging campaign ahead for Harris unless she takes a more proactive approach on the campaign trail.
Tiana Lowe Doescher suggests ‘there is a sense’ Big Tech cannot solely help Harris win
The Washington Examiner’s Tiana Lowe Doescher suggested Big Tech companies, such as Meta, are realizing there is little they can do to help Vice President Kamala Harris win the 2024 election, and that Harris needs to put in effort herself on the campaign trail.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed in a letter to Congress on Monday that his company would “push back” against any pressure from the Biden White House to censor content on his platform in the future. Doescher suggested that Zuckerberg could be acknowledging that the Biden-Harris campaign needed a lot of help from Big Tech companies to win the 2020 election and that a similar level of help in 2024 would not be enough to sufficiently help her win.
“And now, after they tried to rig the Republican primaries by taking Donald Trump off the ballot or putting in prison, rig the Democratic primaries by keeping RFK J, Cornel West, Jill Stein, all those guys off the ballot, and then, after the debate when Donald Trump ends Joe Biden’s career, replaces him with a below replacement level candidate in Kamala Harris,” Doescher said on Fox Business’s Mornings with Maria Bartiromo. “There is a sense that it does not matter how many, what we call ‘the deep state,’ but really, the media inclusion with Big Tech, all these firms, all these institutions, they still can’t get her over the finish line on their own. She still has to go sit in an interview.”
Doescher also argued that Harris has yet to do a proper interview with the press since taking President Joe Biden’s place as the Democratic presidential nominee and that her highly anticipated interview with CNN is a “high risk, high reward interview.”
She also compared Harris unfavorably to Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), former President Donald Trump’s 2024 running mate, who has been able to “flood the zone with commentary” against the Biden-Harris administration in his interviews.
Harris’s interview with CNN, scheduled for Thursday, will be pretaped and conducted by network anchor Dana Bash. Harris’s running mate, Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), will be joining her in the interview.
Last month, Zuckerberg reflected on the assassination attempt on Trump and called it “one of the most bada** things” he had ever seen. Despite this, he did not offer any endorsement to the former president and said he’s “not planning” on being involved in the election at all.
Since stepping in for Biden in the 2024 election, Harris has seen an uptick in support in the race against Trump. She is only three percentage points behind the former president in recent polling. The poll also found that Trump is leading widely with critical, independent voters at 51%-40%.
