Since being named the Democratic nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris has gone 99 days without holding an official press conference.
Although Harris has been visible on the campaign trail, her media appearances remain limited to brief press gaggles, interviews, and selected television appearances, Fox News reported.
Her schedule has included a CNN town hall, an interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier, and guest spots on shows like The View.
But a formal press conference, with direct media questioning, has yet to occur.
This differs from her opponent, former President Donald Trump, who has held six press conferences since August.
Conservative commentators, such as Radio Libre’s Jorge Bonilla, argue that Harris’s limited media engagement enables her to sidestep accountability. They liken her strategy to staying in a “plexiglass basement” where she appears engaged but is not fully accessible to the press.
While Harris’s campaign engagement strategy has been selective, her recent media interactions have stirred conversation, including a 60 Minutes interview that received backlash after CBS aired different portions of her response to questions about Israel.
With only days left before Election Day, it remains uncertain if Harris will hold a formal press conference before voters head to the polls.
