30 Days: Kamala Harris has not held a press conference since emerging as presumptive Democratic nominee

Vice President Kamala Harris hasn’t held a formal press conference since she ascended as the presumptive Democratic nominee in place of President Biden.

Former President Trump held his second press conference in a week on Thursday at Bedminster, and since Aug. 6, he's answered 81 questions in pressers and interviews, including a two-hour session with supporter Elon Musk last week.

In that same period, Harris has done brief "gaggles" as well as off-the-record sessions with traveling reporters, but she still hasn't done anything formal with the press. She spoke for a few minutes at a campaign stop with reporters in Pennsylvania on Sunday, telling the media she still considered herself an "underdog" ahead of the DNC.

The left-leaning Washington Post editorial board challenged Harris over dodging the media last week, saying of her opponent, "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 new piece on Sunday.
