7:35Now PlayingTime magazine faced significant backlash on social media Monday after unveiling a cover story on Vice President Kamala Harris that many perceived as overly flattering. The new issue features an article by Charlotte Alter, with the front cover bearing the headline "Her Moment." Alter's piece claims Harris has "pulled off the swiftest vibe shift in modern political history" and suggests that while the 2020 Democratic primary and her vice-presidency may not have been the best platforms for Harris to "showcase her talents," she is now "matched to the moment" as the Democratic presidential nominee.
Harris emerged as the de facto nominee after President Biden endorsed her on July 21 following his withdrawal from the race, and she has since officially secured the nomination. Throughout this process, Harris has received overwhelmingly positive coverage from mainstream media outlets, with many observers viewing the Time feature as the culmination of this trend.
Despite not agreeing to be interviewed for the article, the piece quotes a variety of aides, advisers, and supporters, including Pete Buttigieg, CNN's Bakari Sellers, and gun control activist David Hogg.
Alter wrote, "Even if Washington was taken by surprise, the energetic fighter of the past two weeks matches the Harris whom allies say they have known for years."
However, the cover story quickly became a target for conservatives and critics of Harris, who mocked the magazine's portrayal of her.
Many critics labeled the piece as "propaganda," and some ridiculed Time for not securing an interview with Harris despite the glowing coverage.
