Why hasn’t the presumptive Democratic Party nominee spoken to the press?

Kamala Harris hasn’t done a single interview or press conference since Joe Biden was forced off the 2024 ticket and she was coronated as the Democratic party nominee.

After Biden ended his reelection campaign and knighted Harris as his successor on July 21, the vice president was granted numerous endorsements from Democrat leaders, including former President Barack Obama, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and several blue-state governors, such as Gavin Newsom (CA), Josh Shapiro (PA), and J.B Pritzker (IL).

As Harris has become the presumptive nominee without receiving a single primary vote, she leaves many questions to be answered with her complete lack of press conferences after such a major turn of events.

The RNC Research account on X blasted Harris for “teleprompter only” appearances.

“DAY 10: Kamala hasn’t done a single interview nor press conference since her coup to force Biden off the ticket. Just teleprompter speeches. What is she trying to hide?”

What is she trying to hide?



NewsBusters executive editor Tim Graham says Harris is pulling a Biden, and will hide from the press.

“Kamala Harris should absolutely hold a press conference. One would expect it when she names her vice-presidential pick. But we cannot expect her to break from Biden’s serial avoidance of press conferences,” Graham said.
