    You KNOW it's bad when Jim Acosta is shaming Dems!

    ACOSTA: But Michael, you know, a campaign rally is not a press conference. Do you mind if I cut in? I mean, you know, a campaign rally is not a press conference. Why hasn't she had one? She's the Vice President; she can handle the questions. Why not do it?

    TYLER: We absolutely are going to do it. You hear her take questions as she's out on the stump. Last week, she mentioned that we'll be having a sit-down interview before the end of the month. What she's focused on, and what this campaign is focused on, is communicating directly with the voters who will decide the pathway to 270 electoral votes. That's why--

    ACOSTA: Can she commit to a press conference this week?

    Meh. She's currently leading in the polls and gaining momentum. Why change things? And who honestly cares now what the media thinks?

    MAGA's only hope is that she fails during a debate or press conference which is why they keep bringing it up

    Now that Acosta has opened the door, you'll see more questions like this from legacy media. It's very convenient her campaign surrogates are available for interviews, but she's not. I guess Obama really is running the country behind the scenes. POTUS is senile and his VP can't handle a press conference.

    I’m guessing the stock market must be up and Harris must be leading in the polls.

    Inflation under control and Trump is babbling like a fool in Asheville - Must be because Harris isnt doing something that people who arent voting for her are asking for.

    The voting public could care less whether or not she speaks to the anachronistic media.

    Can’t blame ole Jim. He just wants to keep a job. They were even able to force Biden to give that presser at the NATO Summit. Harris just won’t have it.

    Said it before when Harris does have her press conference it will be a case on the part of supporters of the former president ending up of "being careful what they wished for". Kind of like the Trumpers who constantly mocked Biden for his performance at the debate and after he withdrew started suggesting that his withdrawal was an undemocratic coup even expressing sympathy for poor Old Joe.

    When she finally caves…Kamala will sound like a bumbling, awkward middle school girl.
    It will be fun to watch.
    The libbies will be so proud.

    Naturally, our lovable lefties are coming unglued upon finding out one of their own, Jimmy Acosta, had the audacity to call out the Camel for her lack of candor.

    It’s true that Kamala seemingly doesn’t need to do interviews right now, but I don’t think we should be electing anyone that doesn’t do so. I am open to voting for Kamala, but I won’t be doing so if I never see her answer some questions. Hopefully, the two sides can work out the debate schedule.
