WASHINGTON, DC: On Thursday, Kellyanne Conway, Fox News contributor and former Trump campaign manager, urged the media to cease coverage of Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris’ rallies if she continues to avoid answering their questions.

Conway commended Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance for his initiative outside Air Force Two, where he engaged with Harris’ press pool.

“What Vance did yesterday was brilliant, just spontaneously crossing the tarmac, crisscrossing over and forcing the press to cover him,” Kellyanne Conway stated.

She noted that Vance's approach was both clever and humorous, saying, “He was there with the press and did two things, was clever and funny by saying this will be my plane I went to check it out, and then quickly pivoting to what’s on everybody’s mind: The fact that Harris won’t take a single question, and why it’s important for her to answer questions is she’s lying from the podium.”

Kellyanne Conway then offered a strategic recommendation to the media. “Kamala Harris is ignoring you because she thinks she already has you,” she said. “For the same reason she doesn’t go and spend a dime chasing people who vote 100% of the time, and 100% of the time for Democrats, she thinks the mainstream media is already in her thrall, in her corner.”

She advised that the media should respond by not covering Harris’ rallies, suggesting, “They should challenge that by not covering her rallies. Don’t set up your camera next time. If she’s not going to answer your questions, don’t give her the service of covering her rallies.”



 

In a related development, Donald Trump, Harris’ Republican rival, announced he would hold a press conference at 2:00 pm on the same day, likely to highlight his openness to taking questions in contrast to Harris’s reluctance.

Conway endorsed this move, calling it “very smart” on Fox News.
