It’s been nearly a month since President Joe Biden decided to end his reelection bid and anoint Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic Party nominee, but despite mounting calls for her to do so, she has yet to hold a formal press conference.
Although she has been active on the campaign trail, speaking at various events and giving informal remarks to reporters since taking Biden’s place on the ticket last month, she has yet to hold a formal press conference or a comprehensive interview in a month.
During this period, she has conducted brief “gaggles” and off-the-record sessions with traveling reporters but has yet to engage in a formal press conference or interview. She declined a formal interview request from TIME, which featured a flattering cover story titled “Her Moment” this week. Additionally, running mate Tim Walz turned down a formal interview request from the New York Times regarding his response to the George Floyd riots in Minnesota.
