Vice President Kamala Harris has been the presumptive and now official Democratic nominee for president for 105 days without holding an official press conference. In contrast, President Trump has engaged in at least six news conferences since the beginning of August, where he took questions from the media.
While on the campaign trail, Harris has participated in several brief, informal press gaggles this week. She criticized the tone and rhetoric at Trump's rally in New York City over the weekend and gave a speech in Washington, D.C., outlining her vision for the United States and contrasting it with what she calls Trump's radical, dark vision.
