Vice President Kamala Harris has gone 53 days as the presumptive, and now, official Democratic nominee for president without holding an official press conference.
She and former President Trump met on Tuesday at the ABC News Presidential Debate.
Under pressure to sit down for a substantive interview after weeks of stonewalling, Harris finally ended her interview drought last month when she was joined by running mate Tim Walz for a pre-taped piece with CNN’s Dana Bash last Thursday in Georgia that was a far cry from a traditional press conference.
“Anyone who wants to lead the free world should be able to handle questions from the press,” conservative influencer Tim Young told Fox News Digital. “If Kamala can’t handle real questions from the press, she absolutely can’t handle negotiations with foreign leaders.”

Harris also sat for two taped radio interviews last week, which aired Friday and Monday.
As to when she’ll actually do a formal press conference, that day may never come, at least while she’s still a candidate.
Conservative Radio Libre host Jorge Bonilla feels Harris should do a press conference but said it’s almost “irrelevant” because she continues to get a pass.

“She is highly unlikely to do a press conference because the media have enabled and encouraged her ‘plexiglass basement’ strategy, wherein she preserves the illusion of being out there while remaining wholly inaccessible to the press and therefore unaccountable,” Bonilla told Fox News Digital.
