J.D. Vance, the Republican Vice Presidential nominee, is urging journalists to compel Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, to respond to inquiries.
Speaking to reporters aboard a campaign plane, Vance said, “I know most of you, I like all of you as people… I think that you guys have got to do a better job at actually forcing Kamala Harris to answer questions.”
“This is a person who’s been the presumptive Democrat nominee for 16 days, she hasn’t taken a single real question from a reporter,” he continued. “The American people deserve to get to know the people who want to lead them.”
He added, “And I think it’s shameful for Kamala Harris, but increasingly for the media that she’s taking a basement strategy of running from reporters instead of getting in front of them, answering tough questions about her record, and letting the American people know who she is.”
