MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle revealed President-elect Donald Trump had answered her phone call when she once reached out for an interview while arguing that he was more accessible than President Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris.
"The day after Donald Trump had that crazy rally at Madison Square Garden. I rolled the dice and I called him on the phone and he answered. I wasn't calling to chit-chat," Ruhle said in a newly posted interview. "It was not an on-the-record conversation … I said you just said a whole bunch of public things, I'd like to sit down for an interview with you, we've got five days before the election, so we didn't get into anything, there's nothing for me to report, I called him and said, I want an interview with you. Obviously, he said no, but my point is, I was able to get to him by dialing his phone."
Speaking to Lukas Thimm on his show, "So Many Issues with Lukas" on Dec. 8, Ruhle, who had defended Harris against criticisms that she was avoiding tough questions ahead of the election, also said it was much harder to get in contact with Harris or Biden.
