The last time Clinton gave a formal press conference was Dec. 5, 2015, or 274 days ago, a number that Trump and the Republican National Committee update daily in e-mails to reporters. Clinton has taken questions in various campaign appearances, including at last month's joint conference of the National Association of Black Journalists and the National Association of Hispanic Journalists. But only three pre-selected journalists were allowed to pose questions to the former secretary of state. Clinton therefore has little incentive for holding a press conference, he added. Moreover, the Democratic nominee's treatment of reporters can come across as perfectly appropriate in comparison with Trump, who has banned certain media outlets from his campaign events.
