Martha maccallum a and this is The Story. So now we are 24 days and to the new shape of the president ial race, we have not seen a Sitdown Interview or a Press Conference and the Harris Campaign is now getting pressed onto this by a media getting increasingly frustrated. Watch this. Order to kill you guys to have a Press Conference, Waddick Hasnt she had one . [ laughter ] lys another Vice President , governor Tim Walz have been busy crisscrossing this country.
