Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) is stepping up his pressure on Vice President Kamala Harris to answer questions from the press.
On Wednesday, Vance and Harris had an overlap in their campaign schedule and were both at the airport in Eau Claire, Wisconsin around the same time.
The Ohio senator, seeing Air Force Two, decided to take a stroll across the tarmac and criticized the current vice president and Democratic presidential nominee for avoiding questions from reporters.
As he approached Harrisā plane, Vance spoke to reporters gathered nearby and said, āI figured Iād come by⦠and just get a good look at the plane because hopefully itās going to be my plane in few months.ā
āI also thought you guys may get lonely, because the vice president doesnāt answer questions from reporters, and hasnāt for 17 days,ā he continued. āHave they given you guys an explanation for why she wonāt take questions from reporters? No? Nobody? OK. Great. Well, I hope that she changes her mind because it would be good for the American people.ā

When asked what he would like to hear, Vance said, āIād lover her to just answer what she wants to do and also explain why every single position sheās had has changed.ā
āSheās the border czar, yetās sheās opened the southern border. This is a person who has to answer a question from the media, and itās disgraceful that she runs from you guys,ā he added.
Vanceās comment comes as Harris gone roughly two weeks as the likely Democratic presidential nominee without holding a press conference or answering questions.
However, he did not actually speak to Harris.
