Harris and Walz agree to first sit-down interview since launching campaign
Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) have agreed to do a sit-down interview for the first time since launching their campaign.
Harris and Walz have been hounded by Republicans for over a month for refusing to do traditional media appearances. On Tuesday, CNN revealed that the duo had agreed to interview with the network.
The interview will be conducted by CNN’s Dana Bash on Thursday at 9 p.m. It will happen during the Harris campaign’s bus tour through Georgia.
The only direct media engagement Harris has entertained were some shouted-out questions from journalists and sit-down interviews with three favorable content creators and influencers at the Democratic National Convention.
The interview comes just in time for her to fulfill an earlier pledge she made to conduct a sit-down interview before the end of August by just one day.
Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) also criticized Harris and Walz for their previous refusal to conduct an interview. He joined Republicans in calling for the Democrats to share more of their policy proposals with voters.
“I think it’s really disgraceful, both for Kamala Harris but also for a lot of the American media that participates in this stuff, to have a person who has been the presumptive nominee of the Democrat Party for 17 days and refuses to take a single question from the American media,” Vance said earlier in August.
