Vice President Kamala Harris Faces Criticism for Lack of Press Conferences Since Becoming Presumptive Democratic Nominee
Vice President Kamala Harris has come under fire for going 14 days without holding a formal press conference since becoming the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. Despite hitting the campaign trail and speaking at various events, Harris has yet to face tough questions in a wide-ranging interview.
Critics have taken notice of Harris’ absence from press conferences, with some questioning when she will address the media. The Republican National Committee Research account pointed out that Harris has only delivered “teleprompter speeches,” while conservative pundit Ben Shapiro criticized her for not answering any difficult questions.
Media experts believe that Harris may be following President Biden’s playbook of avoiding press conferences, with DePauw University media studies professor Jeffrey McCall suggesting that the campaign is aware of her struggles in unscripted settings. However, some argue that Harris will eventually need to face the press to attract moderate and undecided voters.
The Democratic National Convention is set to begin on August 19 in Chicago, raising questions about when Harris will address the media and take on tough questions. Critics and supporters alike are eagerly awaiting her next move as the presidential race heats up.
