New Biden-Harris Ticket Gives Press the Silent Treatment
While Biden and Harris refuse to engage with reporters, President Trump has participated in dozens of sit-down interviews with leading journalists and hosted regular press conferences.

Joe Biden has only ventured out of his Delaware basement studio a handful of times over the past six months. In the few instances that he did, he consistently ignored attempts by reporters to question him.
This week, Biden announced Kamala Harris would be his running mate. Both Biden and Harris departed their “press conference” without taking any questions from the press. Today they hosted their second joint “press conference,” in which they excoriated President Trump on a variety of topics before walking off the stage ignoring questions from reporters in attendance.
In a stunning feat of hypocrisy, both Biden and Harris are on the record accusing President Trump of avoiding “tough questions” from reporters and emphasizing a free press as being the “bedrock of our Democracy.”
Journalists are taking notice:
While Biden and Harris refuse to engage with reporters, President Trump has participated in dozens of sit-down interviews with leading journalists and hosted regular press conferences. It’s time to for them to dispense with the teleprompters and start answering questions.
