Summary
Vice President Kamala Harris has not held a formal press conference since becoming the Democratic nominee for president, a period that has now extended to over 100 days. Instead, she has opted for informal media engagements and interviews, which some analysts argue limit her accountability and direct interaction with the press.
This absence of a formal press conference format has drawn criticism from various media commentators and political analysts, who suggest it undermines her transparency and may affect voter perception. While Harris has participated in numerous interviews and town halls, including appearances on popular platforms, the lack of structured press conferences has raised questions about her willingness to engage with challenging questions and topics. Critics argue that this strategy may shield her from scrutiny, contrasting sharply with former President Donald Trump’s more traditional approach to media engagement, which includes multiple press conferences where he addresses questions directly.
