Former President Donald Trump's campaign has been urging Vice President Kamala Harris to engage more with the media, highlighting Trump's recent two-hour conversation with Tesla CEO Elon Musk. However, critics point out that Musk's questions were not from a journalistic perspective and allowed Trump to reiterate his campaign talking points without much challenge.
During the conversation, Trump made several false claims that went unchallenged by Musk, who has previously expressed support for the former president. The Trump campaign spokesperson criticized Harris for not holding a press conference or media interview, suggesting that she may be avoiding unscripted interactions.
The spokesperson accused Harris's team of lacking energy and compared them to the Biden campaign, known for being hesitant to engage with the press. The statement implied that Harris may be relying heavily on prepared remarks or teleprompters when interacting with the public.
As the debate over media accessibility continues, it remains to be seen how Harris will respond to the pressure from the Trump campaign and whether she will increase her engagement with reporters in the future.
