Trump to hold Mar-a-Lago press conference in stark contrast to Harris' media avoidance.
Since being named the Democratic nominee, Harris has not given a press conference or done an interview.
On Thursday afternoon, former President Trump is hosting a news conference at Mar-a-Lago with members of the press, in contrast to Vice President Kamala Harris, who has shied away from the media since being named the Democratic presidential candidate.
Trump announced a General News Conference at 2:00 P.M. at Mar-a-Lago, Palm Beach. Thank you!
On Thursday, the former president and Republican presidential nominee is meeting with major members of the press in private.
The Trump campaign source informed Planet Chronicle Digital that President Trump wished to speak with them while they were already in Palm Beach because he is the most transparent candidate in history.
""Kamala Harris has been the Democrat nominee for 18 days without answering a single question from the media, in stark contrast to previous nominees," the source stated."
Harris has gone 18 days without holding a formal press conference.
After President Biden suspended his re-election campaign on July 21, the vice president became the de facto nominee.
The Democratic National Committee conducted a virtual roll call vote, officially designating her as the Democratic presidential nominee.
Since then, Harris has given informal remarks to reporters and spoken at various events, but has not done a formal press conference or a wide-ranging interview.
Although she could have attended the National Association of Black Journalists convention in Chicago, where Trump made headlines last week with a heated question-and-answer session, she failed to appear.
JD Vance has urged the media to question Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz formally in interviews or press conferences after she made headlines by picking Walz as her running mate this week.
In a Wednesday press conference in Detroit, Vance encouraged reporters to demonstrate self-awareness and urged Harris to perform as a presidential candidate by addressing them.
He stated that you guys must cease providing her with a honeymoon and stop pretending she is someone she is not until she does.
On Wednesday, Vance confronted Harris about not responding to reporters' questions while their planes were on the tarmac at a Wisconsin airport.
At Chippewa Valley Regional Airport, Vance disclosed to the press gaggle that he was attempting to obtain a closer examination of Air Force Two because it would soon become his aircraft.
The Republican expressed concern that Harris' press gaggle may feel isolated because she doesn't respond to their inquiries.
"Vance approached the group and inquired, "Hey, guys. How are you?" while also expressing his desire to examine his upcoming flight and greet the vice president to inquire about Kamala Harris's refusal to respond to media questions."
"He added, "I thought her press gaggle might feel lonely, so I came to talk to you and answer some questions. I respect you and the American people you serve, and I believe her reporters would benefit from this interaction as well.""
