Vice President Kamala Harris seemingly avoided inquiries from journalists as she boarded her aircraft at Joint Base Andrews, as depicted in a video from C-SPAN. The footage indicates that Harris was preparing to depart from Joint Base Andrews. The Democratic presidential nominee is expected to participate in a campaign rally on Monday in Detroit, Michigan. In the video, she briefly acknowledged a group of reporters who were calling out questions from the tarmac before turning away and entering the plane.

The video depicts her waving to the journalists before inserting a pair of wired headphones, linked to her phone, further into her ears as she ascended the stairs to the plane. Conservative commentators expressed their disapproval on X, perceiving this action as an attempt to evade inquiries from reporters during an electoral campaign in which Harris has been notably reticent in engaging with the press.
Kamala Harris is now avoiding the press by wearing headphones, that’s the first original move I've seen from her campaign.

Kamala Harris “on her headphones” to avoid talking to the press. You’d think a woman running for the highest public service job in the country would see value in…I don’t know….talking to the public. pic.twitter.com/JwS8H1MW3Q
