Kamala Harris has been the presumptive and official Democratic nominee for president for 96 days without holding an official press conference.

Since the beginning of August, Trump has conducted six news conferences with the media, while Harris has held two informal press gaggles this week.

Last week, Harris broke her streak of not appearing on Planet Chronicle by sitting for an interview with chief political anchor Bret Baier in Pennsylvania. Additionally, she did a CNN town hall on Wednesday night and has interviews scheduled this week with NBC News and Telemundo.

Recently, Harris has increased her interviews, featuring on radio shows, "The View," Stephen Colbert, Howard Stern, and other media outlets.

It's uncertain if she will ever hold a formal press conference as a candidate, as long as she remains a candidate.

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.

This 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.
