Kamala is not hiding. The press is ignoring her. They understand that any honest coverage of Kamala will result in less access to the incoming administration.

I learned to cook in the Peace Corps. Gained 30 pounds fiddling with West African cuisine. I can probably feed myself for a week on what someone might spend on one takeout meal.

She was skilled at pragmatic responses to unreasonable families.)
