Former President Donald Trump held a news conference at his New Jersey golf club, marking his second such event in recent weeks. The news conference comes as Trump intensifies his criticism of Vice President Kamala Harris for her lack of press engagement since becoming the Democratic nominee.
Vice President Harris has faced scrutiny for not holding news conferences or sitting down for interviews, despite traveling with journalists aboard Air Force Two. In a recent interaction with reporters, Harris mentioned her intention to schedule an interview by the end of the month.
During a rally in North Carolina, Trump veered off-script, expressing frustration over the Democrats' decision to elevate Harris to the top of the presidential ticket. He made personal attacks on Harris, questioning her intelligence and criticizing her past role as a district attorney in San Francisco.
A recent poll indicates that Americans are more likely to trust Trump over Harris on issues such as the economy and immigration, which Trump has emphasized in his campaign for a return to the White House.
At his previous news conference, Trump taunted his rival, boasted about past events, and made several false and misleading claims. The event lasted over an hour and showcased Trump's ongoing efforts to challenge the Democratic ticket.
