Kamala Harris has not held a formal press conference since being named the Democratic nominee, after 106 days.
Before the election, SNL featured a cameo by Harris.
Kamala Harris has been the presumptive and official Democratic nominee for president for 106 days without holding an official press conference.
Since the start of August, Trump has conducted at least six news conferences with the media, while Harris has held several informal press gaggles this week, including a Monday session where she criticized Trump's rally in New York City. Additionally, Harris appeared on NBC's "Saturday Night Live" on Saturday, portraying herself in the show's cold open.
On Tuesday in Washington, D.C., she delivered a speech detailing her strategy for the US and distinguishing her approach from what she characterizes as Trump's extreme, dystopian vision.
In addition to appearing on Planet Chronicle last month, Harris has recently sat for interviews with Bret Baier, done a CNN town hall, and given interviews to NBC News, Telemundo, CBS, several podcasts, and local news stations.
In October, Harris increased her interviews, featuring on radio shows, "The View," Stephen Colbert, Howard Stern, and other media outlets.
She won't hold a formal press conference as a candidate before the election, which is two days away.
Jorge Bonilla, a host on Conservative Radio Libre, believes that Harris should hold a press conference but considers it almost "irrelevant" because she consistently receives a free pass.
Bonilla stated to Planet Chronicle Digital that she is unlikely to hold a press conference because the media has facilitated and supported her "plexiglass basement" strategy, which maintains the illusion of being accessible while remaining inaccessible to the press and thus unaccountable.
In recent weeks, Trump has skipped several potential interviews, but he appeared at the annual Al Smith dinner where presidential candidates traditionally engage in lighthearted roasts. On the other hand, Harris opted not to attend and sent a video message in her place.
Last month, Harris gave an interview on "60 Minutes" that sparked controversy due to the show's editing choices with her answer about Israel. In a preview of the interview on Oct. 6, CBS aired one portion of her answer, but during the actual special on Oct. 7, they aired a completely different part of it.
