Why hasn't Kamala Harris held a press conference as presumptive Democrat nominee?
Is Kamala Harris's campaign team afraid that the vice president won't perform well in unscripted settings and live press conferences? Do they think that a sit-down interview would require her to defend some of her positions and she would come under pressure? Why has she not held a single press conference since Joe Biden pulled out and endorsed Kamala Harris for the US Presidential Election 2024? These questions have popped up and even her supporters find it difficult to get answers. 'Fox News' has wondered why the first black vice president did not attend the National Association of Black Journalists convention in Chicago, where former President President Donald Trump was present.
