President-elect Donald Trump will hold his first press conference since the election "soon," it was revealed Monday, although no specific date was given because he's tied up selecting his cabinet.
Kellyanne Conway, who served as Trump's campaign manager and is now a senior advisor on his transition team, spoke with reporters at Trump Tower and said the incoming president's current focus is building out his administration.
"Soon, but he's just got action-packed days filled with meetings," Conway said when asked when Trump's next press conference would be. He last held one on July 27.
"These days are over-scheduled with meetings," Conway continued. "We have people flying in from all over the country meeting with him to give their advice, their counsel, share their experiences, their vision for the country, some of which will result in appointments to his administration, and some who just wish to be helpful."
Conway added that the people meeting with Trump are "very excited to have new leadership in the country and want to be part of that."
Presidents-elect typically hold a press conference sometime after the election. Trump has, however, given some interviews and met off the record with TV news executives Monday.
