With less than two weeks till the election, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and his running mate Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) are still not answering too many questions from reporters.
Biden’s campaign announced that he would not be making in-person appearances until the final presidential debate on Thursday.
However, Harris did answer trivia questions from Hollywood stars on Tuesday night when she held a fundraiser with some of the cast of “The Avengers.”
The event featured several stars of the movie series, including Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo, Don Cheadle, Paul Rudd, Zoe Saldana, and Robert Downey Jr.
Throughout the fundraiser, the participants honored the life of their former castmate the late-Chadwick Boseman, played trivia, took shots at President Donald Trump, and sung “Happy Birthday” to the vice-presidential nominee.
However, the event did not go over well with ABC News’ Jon Karl, who took to Twitter to blast Harris for talking to the Hollywood stars instead of answering reporters’ questions.
“At a fundraiser tonight, [Kamala Harris] played trivia and answered questions from the cast of The Avengers,” Karl said.

And with that, the Democratic VP nominee has now taken more questions from cast of The Avengers than from the traveling press covering her campaign. (h/t @MissBeaE)
He added, “And with that, the Democratic VP nominee has now taken more questions from cast of The Avengers than from the traveling press covering her campaign.”
Biden and Harris have been criticized for avoiding answering questions from the press.
In September, NBC News reporter Deepa Shivaram tweeted, “A reminder that it has been 42 days since Harris was tapped as the VP pick. There are 42 days until election day.”
