U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris is set to give her first interview as the Democratic presidential nominee on CNN, alongside her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, airing Thursday at 9 p.m. ET. The interview, conducted by Dana Bash, comes amid criticism of Harris's limited media presence since President Biden's withdrawal from the race and endorsement of her on July 21. Republicans, including Donald Trump, have pointed out her lack of solo media appearances, questioning her readiness. This joint interview is viewed as a chance for Harris to counter negative perceptions and is part of a bus tour through Georgia, a crucial swing state. While she has participated in various on-camera engagements, this marks her first formal interview since Biden's exit, raising questions about her media strategy. The political landscape intensifies as the election date approaches, and Harris's responses will be closely scrutinized.
