Kamala Harris Defends Fracking Stance in CNN Interview

Kamala Harris recently faced scrutiny during her first CNN interview as the Democratic presidential nominee, particularly regarding her past support for banning fracking. In 2020, she had stated a clear intention to ban fracking, but during the interview, she claimed that her position had not changed, stating, 'I kept my word and I will keep my word.' CNN's Dana Bash challenged her on the contradiction between her previous statements and current stance, leading Harris to assert that her values remain consistent despite perceived shifts. Critics, including Donald Trump, have labeled her a 'flip-flopper' as she attempts to navigate center-ground policies ahead of the November election. Harris's campaign has tried to clarify her position on fracking, with her spokesperson stating she has not changed her mind, contradicting some recent narratives. The ongoing debate highlights the tensions within the Democratic Party as they prepare for the upcoming election against Trump.
