Vice President Kamala Harris and her campaign team criticized former President Donald Trump for his recent chaotic press conferences, highlighting his lack of a plan to reduce costs for middle-class families. Despite her campaign’s momentum, Harris faces significant backlash for avoiding press conferences and in-depth media interviews, a strategy criticized by both right-wing media and some Democrats. The media's positive rebranding of Harris, including profiles in Essence and TIME Magazine, has been met with skepticism and accusations of propagandistic efforts. Meanwhile, Trump's comments about Harris in interviews, including a bizarre comparison to Melania Trump, have further fueled the media frenzy around both figures.
