Harris and Walz Face the Press in First Joint Interview

Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, will be interviewed together for the first time since their campaign began. The interview, scheduled for Thursday with CNN’s Dana Bash, will be Harris’ first major television interview since becoming the Democratic nominee. It comes as Harris and Walz are on a bus tour through southeast Georgia, a crucial battleground state. The interview will provide Harris with an opportunity to address criticism that she has avoided unscripted situations. It will also give her a platform to define her campaign and test her political mettle ahead of a debate with former President Donald Trump scheduled for September 10. The Trump campaign has repeatedly attacked Harris for her lack of media access, claiming it indicates a lack of confidence in her ability to lead. The interview will be aired at 9 p.m. EDT Thursday.
