Vice President Kamala Harris spoke with reporters for the first time Thursday since becoming the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee nearly three weeks ago.
She talked to the media on the tarmac at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport after a campaign event in Michigan and after former President Trump held a lengthy news conference at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida Thursday afternoon.
Harris responded to criticism about not doing a formal press conference or a wide-ranging interview since she became the presumptive nominee.
“I’ve talked to my team. I want us to get an interview scheduled before the end of the month,” Harris said.

The vice president also touched on an agreement with Trump to conduct three presidential debates prior to Election Day Nov. 5.
“Well, I’m glad that he’s finally agreed to a debate on Sept. 10,” she said, adding she would be willing to schedule additional debates with the former president.
The pair agreed to three debates next month hosted by Fox News, NBC and ABC.
