Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris has announced her economic plan just days before heading to the party’s convention in Chicago, sparking calls for Vice President Harris to hold a press conference.
Tim Murtaugh, a senior adviser to the Trump campaign, told Fox News Digital that Harris was “hiding from the American people” and running the most deceptive campaign in history.
Murtaugh added that Harris is following President Biden’s lead in avoiding the media.
“She’s hiding from the American people, just like Joe Biden always does, but pretending to be the opposite of everything she’s ever stood for as a San Francisco liberal,” said an adviser to the Republican candidate.

Murtaugh told Fox News Digital that Harris is choosing not to say her economic platform means she supports raising taxes on Americans.
“On taxes, she promised to repeal the Trump tax cuts and voted against expanding the child tax credit,” he said. “It doesn’t matter what she says now, she supported raising taxes when she had a choice.”
“No wonder her handlers don’t want her to talk, because every time she does she creates problems for herself.”
