Vice President Kamala Harris is set to conduct her first interview as a presidential candidate with CNN’s Dana Bash, but she will be accompanied by her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, a decision that has drawn sharp criticism. Commentators like Scott Jennings have labeled Walz as Harris's 'emotional support animal,' questioning her confidence and ability to handle media scrutiny alone after avoiding interviews for over five weeks. The interview's format raises concerns about Harris's readiness for the presidency, particularly in light of her previous handling of media inquiries. Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump is under fire for a campaign event at Arlington National Cemetery, which may have violated federal regulations, as it prompted a physical altercation between his staff and cemetery officials. Veterans expressed discomfort with Trump's presence at the event, particularly given his past remarks about military personnel. The contrasting media strategies of Harris and Trump highlight the ongoing tensions in the current political landscape.
