She made the case to “turn the page” on Donald Trump and the division and chaos he sowed, offering a new way forward. Trump was not impressed.
: It was the latest test of Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign: her first unscripted interview with a major media outlet since becoming the Democratic nominee for the White House.- alongside her vice-presidential candidate, Tim Walz - then the Republican attacks came in hot.“It is offensive to ALL women that Kamala has refused to sit for a solo interview when she is running to be Commander-in-chief,” said New York Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, hours before the prime-time CNN broadcast.
In the end, the interview was short and friendly, allowing Harris to do a solid enough job traversing issues such as immigration, the economy, and the war in Gaza - but whether it will be enough to shift the needle in a race that is currently neck and neck is doubtful. “I think the most important and most significant aspect of my policy perspective and decisions is my values have not changed,” Harris said.
Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump listens to Paul Perez, president of the National Border Patrol Council, as he tours the southern border with Mexico in Sierra Vista, Arizona.On fracking, Harris once supported banning the process, which involves a drilling method used to extract oil natural gas from shale rock, in the interest of the environment.
As a former prosecutor, the 59-year-old vice president is big on preparation and tends to shine when she leads the questions or attacks - rather than being on the receiving end of them.But the pressure to do something other than the choreographed speeches she prefers was becoming unsustainable, with critics and supporters alike urging her to explain her policies.
