Kamala Harris Defends Policies in First Interview

In her first major interview as the Democratic presidential nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris emphasized a desire for a 'new way forward' while addressing her policy shifts since the 2019 campaign. Joined by Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, she defended her record on issues like fracking and immigration, asserting that her core values remain unchanged despite her moderate adjustments. Harris highlighted her commitment to strengthening the middle class and promised immediate action on inflation if elected, stating, 'Prices, in particular for groceries, are still too high.' The interview, which took place at a local Black-owned café in Savannah, Georgia, also served as a platform for Harris to prepare for an upcoming debate against Donald Trump. However, some undecided voters expressed skepticism regarding her ability to implement her proposed policies, indicating a need for her to face tougher questioning in future settings. Overall, Harris's campaign aims to engage undecided voters, particularly young men, who are being courted aggressively by Trump.
