Vice President Kamala Harris has announced plans to sit for her very first interview since she announced the start of her campaign in July, and it will be a joint interview with her running mate Tim Walz on CNN. The interview with CNN's Dana Bash will be on Thursday at 9 pm.
The vice president and Democrat Party presidential nominee has not sat for an interview since taking over at the top of the ticket for President Joe Biden. She had promised to get one on the schedule before the end of August, and Thursday will be August 29, just two days before the month comes to a close.
Normally, a candidate speaks for themselves during interviews where they ask the American public to vote them into the highest office in the nation, but Harris will be stepping out with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who she has chosen to be her running mate.
Harris has not held a press conference, either, and has barely taken questions from press at all. Her candidacy has been compared to that of Biden's, who ran in 2020 during the Covid era and was barely seen in public. Even his campaign rallies often simply featured many Jeeps, spaced 6 feet apart, while he stood on stage speaking out to the Jeeps.
