From Fox News: Donald Trump will take questions from reporters Thursday at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, the second straight week that the former president has grabbed headlines by holding a news conference.
The move is partially to try and blunt the momentum of Vice President Kamala Harris heading into next week’s Democratic National Convention. Harris has been riding a wave of energy and enthusiasm since replacing President Biden at the top of the Democrats’ 2024 ticket three and a half weeks ago.
But it also appears to be another move to try and put pressure on Harris for not holding a news conference or a major interview since Biden bowed out and backed his 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,” Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung emphasized on Wednesday.
Last week, Trump held a news conference at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida, and took questions from reporters for over an hour.
On Thursday, ahead of Trump’s press conference in New Jersey, the Harris campaign blasted out an email to their followers and mocked, “Donald Trump To Ramble Incoherently and Spread Dangerous Lies in Public, but at Different Home.”
WATCH HERE: Trump is scheduled to hold his press conference at 4:30 p.m. ET Thursday, and will be streamed live in the RSBN and Fox News videos below:
Meanwhile, even Democrats are blasting Harris for dodging the media:
