前总统唐纳德·特朗普定于周四在他的贝德明斯特高尔夫球场举行新闻发布会，这是他一周内的第二次新闻发布会，因为竞选活动仍在继续向副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯施压保持强大的媒体可用性。
“已经24天了，卡玛拉·哈里斯继续躲避媒体——自从她宣布以来，没有接受采访，也没有召开新闻发布会，”通讯主任张致恒在一份声明中说。
新闻发布会紧接着特朗普上周四在他的Mar-a-Lago庄园举行他就一系列话题回答了一个多小时的问题，包括他最近对哈里斯的攻击、移民和生育权。在漫长、有时漫无边际的新闻发布会上，川普经常在几个话题上发表虚假言论，包括2020年大选的结果和美国国会大厦袭击事件前他在2021年1月6日集会上的人群规模。
特朗普最近的新闻发布会是竞选团队试图在两位候选人之间进行对比的一部分——在这个过程中追求哈里斯的情报。
“她没有接受采访——她不能接受采访，”特朗普上周在Mar-a-Lago新闻发布会上声称。
他补充说，他“期待着辩论”，以此“澄清事实”
哈里斯竞选团队一直在利用特朗普的新闻发布会高光他犯的错误和对他提倡的政策的批评。
哈里斯竞选团队在一份回应特朗普新闻发布会的声明中说:“特朗普做了他唯一知道如何做的事情——他出去撒谎，编造故事，混淆日期，攻击媒体，总的来说，提醒美国人他是一个身体非常不舒服的人。”
在宣布入主白宫后的竞选试验期间，哈里斯在空军二号上与记者们开了几次小玩笑，并回答了一些大声的问题;然而，她的竞选团队声称她将在月底前参加一次静坐采访。
哈里斯-瓦尔兹竞选团队的沟通主任迈克尔·泰勒(Michael Tyler)周三在美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)上表示，“我们将致力于直接与真正决定这场选举的选民接触，这将通过集会、坐下来接受采访、召开新闻发布会以及我们拥有的所有数字资产来完成。”。
尽管哈里斯没有像前总统那样在媒体前露面，但她确实与她的竞选伙伴、明尼苏达州州长蒂姆·沃尔兹共度了一周。交叉的访问战场州的国家。
特朗普上周刚刚访问了坚定保守的蒙大拿州，为共和党参议员候选人蒂姆·希伊(Tim Sheehy)拉票，但本周他将在两个战场州度过:北卡罗来纳州发表经济演讲，并计划周末在宾夕法尼亚州举行集会。
Trump to hold another press conference as campaign criticizes Harris for limited media availability
Former President Donald Trump is scheduled to hold a press conference Thursday at his Bedminster golf course -- his second press conference in a week -- as the campaign continues toput the pressure on Vice President Kamala Harristo hold a robust media availability.
"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.
The press conference comes following one thatTrump held at his Mar-a-Lago estate last Thursday, fielding questions for more than an hour on a range of topics including his recent attacks on Harris, immigration and reproductive rights. During the long and, at times, rambling press conference, Trump often pushed false claims on several topics, including the outcome of the 2020 election and size of the crowd at his Jan. 6, 2021 rally before the U.S. Capitol attack.
Trump's recent press conferences are part of the campaign's attempt to draw a contrast between the two candidates -- going after Harris' intelligence in the process.
"She hasn't done an interview -- she can't do an interview," Trump claimed during his Mar-a-Lago press conference last week.
He added that he "look[s] forward to the debates" as a way to "set the record straight."
The Harris campaign has been using Trump's press conferences tohighlightflubs he has made and criticize policies he has advocated for.
"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.
During her time out on the campaign trial since announcing her White House bid, Harris has held a few small gaggles with reporters aboard Air Force Two and answered a few shouted questions; however, her campaign claims she will participate in a sit-down interview before the end of the month.
"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.
Though she hasn't made herself as available to the media as the former president, Harris did spend the week with her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz,crisscrossingthe country visiting battleground states.
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.
