JOSE DIAZ-BALART (ANCHOR): And Vaughn, meanwhile, you're in Montana where trump will be later tonight. Of course it's a strong Republican state. Why is he going to go to Montana?
VAUGHN HILLYARD (NBC NEWS CORRESPONDENT): Right, and actually if I could real fast just jump in, we should note that the last time Donald Trump sat down for a television interview, Jose, with a mainstream news organization was 11 months ago with Kristen Welker on "Meet the Press" here. And so while the current vice president on the democratic ticket is facing scrutiny for not taking questions yet, we should know that Donald Trump outside of a press conference yesterday which does not often allow for follow-up questions as we saw yesterday over the course of that hour, he has not done an interview himself with a news organization on camera in 11 months now.
