That avenue of attack should have been used when the Trump campaign was faring better than Harris'. Right now the obvious retort is 'we are too busy kicking your ass to waste time blow-harding in front of cameras like you do, but we will eventually have a press-conference when we feel the time is right' which is essentially what her campaign replied.

More mental gymnastics. Trump is sitting home alone ruminating because he got fired from his last job. Harris is working full-time as the vice president.
"It has been 24 days and Kamala Harris continues to duck and hide from the media -- no interviews and no press conferences since she announced," said communications director Steven Cheung in a statement.
He added that he "look[s] forward to the debates" as a way to "set the record straight."
"Trump did the only thing he knows how to do -- he went out and lied, made up stories, mixed up dates, attacked the media, and, overall, reminded Americans that he is a deeply unwell man," the Harris campaign said in a statement reacting to Trump's press conference.
"We will commit to directly engage with the voters that are actually gonna decide this election and that is gonna be complete with rallies, with sit-down interviews, with press conferences, with all the digital assets we have at our disposal," Michael Tyler, communications director for the Harris-Walz campaign, said on CNN Wednesday when pressed multiple times to commit to press conferences and media interviews.
Trump just visited the solidly conservative state of Montana to stump for GOP Senate candidate Tim Sheehy last week, but is spending this week in two battleground states: North Carolina to deliver an economic speech and is also planning on holding a rally in Pennsylvania over the weekend.
Communications director says 'gonna' twice in one sentence? That's disappointing.
Why? It seems like "gonna" has entered the lexicon as an alternative to "going to", languages change over time. Are you mad people say "hi" instead of "hello" as well?
In particular, the Harris campaign's biggest strategy is staying energized and getting younger people to actually vote. The way you keep younger people engaged is to use language familiar to them. Talking like a stuffy politician isn't motivating to apathetic voters tired of stuffy political rhetoric.
Ok boomer
Is it really though? Seems realer to me.
