Kamala Harris, who the former vice president Joe Biden picked as his running mate earlier this year, took multiple jabs at Donald Trump, slamming the president and the GOP for their move to appoint a Supreme Court justice during an election year. The Democratic vice-presidential candidate refused to take questions from reporters following the speech.

Harris came under fire again on Monday for her press unavailability after she exited the stage after a speech in North Carolina, in which she criticized the president's attempt to fill a Supreme Court seat ahead of the Nov. election. Harris refrained from taking questions from the media following her speech at one of North Carolina’s historically black colleges and universities, Shaw University.

The general public wasn't allowed to attend the event, and was specifically hosted for news reporters, The Fayetteville Observer reported. Aside from being Biden's running mate, Harris is a Senate Judiciary Committee member and qualifies to directly question Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett, who is Trump's pick to fill the high court vacancy, in a confirmation hearing held before Nov. 3.

Harris' speech received strong criticism from the Republican National Committee, as she ripped the GOP for proceeding ahead with the nomination just weeks ahead of the election. “We will not give up, and we will not give in," Harris said during the speech.

She went on to say that they will not allow the infection that Trump has injected into the presidency and into Congress, paralyzing America's politics and pitting the people of the country against each other, extending to the United States Supreme Court. Harris has been criticized for avoiding questions from the press in recent days.

Reporters from several outlets have raised questions about Harris' unavailability to the media. Trump and his campaign members have also repeatedly complained about both Biden and his running mate Harris getting a free pass as far as questions from the press are concerned.

The former veep has also avoided participating in a formal press conference or gaggle since Harris was announced as his running mate in Aug., Fox News reported. Trump announced Barrett on Saturday as his pick for the Supreme Court seat held by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died earlier this month.

Harris said that Barrett’s confirmation to the Supreme Court would jeopardize the Obama-era Affordable Care Act and reproductive rights legislation. The Supreme Court is slated to hear arguments on the ACA shortly after the election.
