Kamala Takes Brief Questions From Reporters, Says She’ll Set Up Full Interview ‘Before The End Of The Month’

Vice President Kamala Harris finally stopped to answer a few questions from reporters before she left Detroit on Thursday and hinted at a possible long-form interview “before the end of the month.”

Harris has been blasted by Republicans, including former President Donald Trump, for avoiding taking questions from reporters or holding a press conference since she became the Democratic presidential nominee. The vice president spent less than two minutes answering reporters’ questions on Thursday and said that she is pushing her team to get a major interview scheduled before September, which is still three weeks away.

“Madame vice president, there’s been a lot of questions about when you’re going to sit down for your first interview since being the nominee …” a reporter stated.

“I’ve talked to my team; I want us to get an interview scheduled before the end of the month,” Harris replied.

Harris also addressed Trump’s announcement that he has agreed to three debates against Harris on three different networks in September. The vice president only agreed to the September 10 debate on ABC.

“I’m glad that he’s finally agreed to a debate on September 10th. I’m looking forward to it and hope he shows up,” she said.

“Are you open to more debates?” a reporter asked.

“I’m happy to have that conversation about an additional debate for after September 10th,” she responded.

During an hour-long news conference on Thursday at Mar-a-Lago, Trump said he and his team “have spoken to the heads of the networks” and set up debates on Fox News on September 4, ABC on September 10, and NBC on September 25 contingent on Harris accepting the terms.

“They may or may not agree. I don’t know,” Trump said of the Harris campaign. “She hasn’t done an interview. She can’t do an interview. She’s barely competent. She can’t do an interview, but I look forward to the debates because we have to set the record straight.”

A Harris campaign official said the vice president would not agree to the September 4 debate on Fox News, ABC News Senior White House Correspondent Selina Wang reported. Wang added that the campaign official told her that “future debates are contingent on Trump showing up to @ABC debate on Sept 10th.”

Trump also blasted Harris for avoiding the media during his press conference, saying, “She’s not doing any news conference. Do you know why she’s not doing [it]? Because she can’t do a news conference. She doesn’t know how to do a news conference. She’s not smart enough to do a news conference.”

Fibis I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
