Harris hasn't held news conference since announcing her 2024 campaign over 2 weeks ago

Vice President Kamala Harris still hasn't held a news conference since announcing her presidential campaign after President Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential race on July 20.

By July 22, Harris' campaign announced that she had received support from enough delegates to clinch the nomination. The Democratic National Committee on Friday opened up the virtual roll call process for delegates to formally nominate Harris. She has already secured the nomination prior to the start of the party's convention. 

Prior to her vice presidential pick announcement, she held an off-the-record gaggle with journalists aboard Air Force Two, according to a pool report.

On Tuesday, Harris announced her running mate as Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn. She still hasn't held a news conference.

Harris ran unsuccessfully for president in 2020, dropping out before the Democratic primary in Iowa. In November 2019, The New York Times described Harris as an "uneven campaigner who changes her message and tactics to little effect."

The Democratic convention begins August 19 in Chicago.
