Just In Drama:”BASEMENT STRATEGY”: JD Vance scolds reporters to do a better job of pressing Kamala Harris to answer questions about her record.
The American people deserve to get to know the people who want to lead them, and I think it’s shameful for Kamala Harris, but increasingly for the media, that she is taking a basement strategy of running from reporters instead of getting in front of them and answering tough questions about her record and letting the American people know who she is.”
Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance scolded reporters on Tuesday to do a better job of pressing Kamala Harris to answer questions about her record, saying she was taking a “basement strategy.”
Speaking to a press gaggle on his plane ahead of a rally in Philadelphia, the Ohio senator took a question about former President Trump not appearing on the campaign trail until Friday, saying he and Trump take a “divide and conquer” approach.
But he turned around the question on Harris, who hasn’t sat for a formal interview or a press conference in the 16 days since she ascended as the Democratic nominee.
“One final observation,” he said. “I know most of you, I like all of you as people, or at least I like the ones I know. I think you guys have got to do a better job at actually forcing Kamala Harris to answer questions. This is a person who has been a presumptive Democrat nominee for 16 days. She hasn’t taken a single real question from a reporter.
