President Biden is now hunkering down at his home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, on Friday after holding only one public event this week. Biden arrived there late Thursday night and remains away from the White House following a tumultuous week around the globe and on Wall Street. He has no events scheduled for today. On Friday, the threat of an Iranian counterattack on Israel was still looming large following last week’s killings of top Hezbollah and Hamas officials in Lebanon and Iran. Russia also has declared a "federal-level" emergency in its Kursk region bordering Ukraine, according to The Associated Press, where Kyiv has launched one of the largest surprise attacks on Russia since the war began over two years ago.

Following a global market sell-off on Monday -- which caused the Dow to plunge 2.6%, Nasdaq Composite 3.43% and S&P 500 3% -- the jobless claims report out Thursday eased some concerns of a downturn. However, one U.S. economist is cautioning that this may be just the beginning of a "reckoning." "There's a lot of pain ahead of us, both for the economy and this reckoning for the markets that have been really behind the curve, like the Fed," Macromavens President Stephanie Pomboy said Thursday on FOX Business’ "Mornings with Maria."

Harris briefly spoke to reporters after a campaign rally in Michigan on Thursday

CNN commentators sharply argued Thursday over Vice President Kamala Harris' lack of engagement with the media, after former President Trump gave a press conference from Mar-a-Lago and Harris spoke at a campaign rally in Michigan. 

"Don't nobody care but us," CNN commentator and Democratic strategist Bakari Sellers said of criticism about Harris largely avoiding the press in recent weeks. 

"That's not true," fellow panelist S.E. Cupp responded. "I speak to swing state voters all the time. They have questions, they want answers." 

Harris broke her press silence on Thursday, briefly taking reporters' questions for the first time in the nearly three weeks since she became the Democratic Party's presumptive nominee. She claimed during her remarkts that she wanted to do an interview by the end of the month.

"This is so in the Beltway," Sellers said, suggesting it was largely an issue that is discussed within the confines of the Washington, D.C., political environment. 

"You're not the first person to make this argument that she doesn't need to do this, it's very ‘inside the Beltway, this is for us,'" Cupp later told Sellers. "You lose credibility when you do that, because if it were someone else then you would be demanding that she sit down for questions. And you know what, it'll make her a better candidate if she does it." 

"And why shouldn't she? She should answer these questions for the American people," said Tricia McLaughlin, the former communications director for Vivek Ramaswamy's presidential campaign. 

"And she will!" Sellers responded. 

"But why not now?" McLaughlin said.

Cupp, one of several anti-Trump Republican figures at CNN, also said Harris has experienced a "bit of a honeymoon period" in regard to her media coverage in the days following her nomination by the Democratic Party. 

Harris has made rapid gains in the polls after President Biden announced he was withdrawing from the race. 

According to a Thursday poll from Marquette Law School, Harris expanded her lead among likely voters over Trump by six points, 53 percent to 47 percent

The Harris campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.
