33 Days: Kamala Harris has not held a press conference since emerging as presumptive Democratic nominee
Fox News
Vice President Kamala Harris hasn’t held a formal press conference since she ascended as the presumptive Democratic nominee in place of President Biden.
She officially accepted the Democratic nomination on Thursday, and now that the party's national convention is over, speculation about when she'll end her media blackout is likely to intensify.

The left-leaning Washington Post editorial board challenged Harris over dodging the media last week, saying of her opponent former President Trump, "at least he has taken questions." The Post said she should account for her numerous policy shifts, including on fracking, border security and private health insurance. Liberal columnist Perry Bacon also called on Harris to take questions in a piece on Sunday.
Trump sat down for a lengthy interview this week with comedian Theo Von this week and has also done two press conferences this month, in addition to a two-hour chat on X with supporter Elon Musk. He phoned into Fox News Channel on Thursday night to react to Harris' acceptance speech and took questions from host Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum.
