The interview, set to take \u2063place in Georgia with her running mate, Governor Tim Walz, comes \u200camidst growing anticipation \u200bregarding her political platform and stance on various issues, particularly as questions have arisen since \u2063her campaign \u200bbegan in July following President Biden&#8217;s withdrawal from the \u200crace.<\/p>\n<p>Harris has been active on the campaign trail but has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/noem-every-young-woman-deserves-an-even-playing-field\/\" title=\"Noem: \u2018Every Young Woman Deserves An Even Playing Field\u2019\">faced criticisms<\/a> for\u2064 her limited engagement with the press and lack \u200bof a clearly outlined\u2063 policy agenda. Particularly, she has \u200drevealed\u2064 only a few policies,\u200d including \u200ba proposed \u200cban on price gouging, which has drawn skepticism. \u2062The interview is seen\u200d as an important opportunity\u200c for voters to evaluate Harris as the Democratic nominee outside of scripted events.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2062article also reflects on Harris&#8217;s past experiences with media \u2062interviews, highlighting both successes and challenges. A notable\u200b moment was her\u2064 2021 interview with NBC&#8217;s Lester \u2064Holt, during \u200bwhich she faced backlash for her \u200bresponses regarding migration and border control.\u2062 The\u2063 upcoming interview \u200cwith\u200b Bash is anticipated to provide further insight \u2062into Harris&#8217;s current viewpoints \u200cand her campaign strategy as the election\u200d approaches.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Everything to know about first interview Harris will give since her campaign launch<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1739147\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>More than five weeks after launching her White House bid, Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kamala-harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Kamala Harris\">Kamala Harris<\/a> will sit down for an interview with a major network as the campaign heads into the home stretch.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Harris and her running mate, Gov. <a href=\"https:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/tim-walz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Tim Walz\">Tim Walz<\/a> (D-MN), will sit down with <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/cnn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Tim Walz\">CNN&rsquo;<\/a>s Dana Bash on Thursday in Georgia after weeks of questions about when she would sit for an interview.

One policy she has unveiled is her proposed ban on price gouging, which has drawn criticism for appearing similar to price controls.<\/p>\n<p>The interview on Thursday, along with the debate between her and former President Donald Trump on Sept. 10, will be the first opportunities for voters to see the vice president as the Democratic nominee unscripted and outside of a rally or similar event. Once Harris and Walz sit down for their interview on Thursday, it will have been 39 days since Harris joined the race for the White House.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Harris&rsquo;s history with network interviews?<\/h2>\n<p>Since entering the White House as Biden&rsquo;s vice president in 2021, Harris has had several special moments in interviews.<\/p>\n<p>At the beginning of her tenure, Harris did an interview with a local television station in West Virginia, pushing for COVID-19 relief in the form of the American Rescue Plan. But the appearance pleading the case for the bill caught Sen. Joe Manchin (I-WV) off guard and upset him &mdash; when Democrats needed his vote. Ultimately, they got Manchin&rsquo;s vote on the measure, and the bill was signed into law in March 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Three months later, Harris stumbled in a major interview with NBC News&rsquo;s Lester Holt. When pressed on her role managing the &ldquo;root causes&rdquo; of migration to the United States and why she hadn&rsquo;t visited the southern border, she said, &ldquo;We are going to the border. &hellip; We&rsquo;ve been to the border.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>When Holt corrected Harris, saying she hadn&rsquo;t visited the border as vice president, she shot back that she hadn&rsquo;t been to Europe, either.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;And I haven&rsquo;t been to Europe,&rdquo; Harris said. &ldquo;And I mean, I don&rsquo;t understand the point that you&rsquo;re making. I&rsquo;m not discounting the importance of the border.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>That disastrous interview cemented criticisms in the minds of her biggest detractors that she wasn&rsquo;t ready for prime time, and she <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/02\/06\/us\/politics\/kamala-harris-vice-presidenct-legacy.html?utm_source=newsletter&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=newsletter_axiossneakpeek&amp;stream=top\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>avoided interviews<\/a> over the following year.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Dana Bash&rsquo;s history with Harris?<\/h2>\n<p>Thursday night&rsquo;s sit-down with Bash won&rsquo;t be the first time Harris has interacted with the CNN host.<\/p>\n<p>Harris sat down with Bash in April 2021, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/04\/25\/politics\/kamala-harris-cnntv\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"where\">when<\/a> she claimed she was the last person in the room on the decision to withdraw from Afghanistan in August of that year. The interview later resurfaced after the chaotic withdrawal.<\/p>\n<p>Bash also got the first interview with Harris after the <em>Dobbs v. Jackson Women&rsquo;s Health Organization<\/em> decision in June 2022, when she <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2022\/06\/27\/politics\/kamala-harris-dana-bash-cnntv\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"stated\">said<\/a> the White House would &ldquo;do everything&rdquo; to ensure access to medication abortion. In the interview, she also said Biden would be seeking reelection and that she would be his running mate. Biden ended his reelection bid last month, and Harris has taken over at the top of the ticket.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where can I watch the interview?<\/h2>\n<p>The interview will air on CNN at 9 p.m. as part of a special titled <em>The First Interview: Harris &amp; Walz A CNN Exclusive<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The first interview of the Democratic presidential ticket will come 68 days before Election Day and only weeks before early voting in some key states begins. <\/p>\n<p>Harris and Walz will participate in debates against their Republican counterparts in the coming weeks.

Over five weeks after announcing her candidacy, Harris will speak with CNN\u2019s Dana Bash in Georgia on Thursday, alongside her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN). This comes amid ongoing speculation regarding her views and platform, especially in comparison to her previous campaign in 2020 where she took several progressive stances.<\/p>\n<p>Although Harris has been actively campaigning since July\u2014following President Joe Biden&#8217;s exit from the race\u2014she has rarely engaged with the press and has not provided a detailed policy agenda; as of Wednesday morning, there was no policy section on her website. While aides have indicated that she no longer supports some of her earlier proposals, she hasn&#8217;t faced direct questions about these changes. One policy she&#8217;s introduced is a ban on price gouging, which has faced criticism for resembling price controls.<\/p>\n<p>The upcoming interview will be one of the first chances for voters to see Harris as the Democratic nominee in an unscripted setting outside of rallies or similar events. It will occur 39 days after she entered the race.<\/p>\n<p>Harris&#8217;s history with network interviews includes notable moments since becoming vice president in 2021. Early on, she had an interview advocating for COVID-19 relief that unexpectedly upset Sen. Joe Manchin (I-WV), whose vote was crucial for passing legislation later signed into law. However, a subsequent NBC News interview raised concerns when she struggled to explain why she hadn&#8217;t visited the southern border while addressing migration issues.<\/p>\n<p>Dana Bash is not new to interviewing Harris; they previously spoke in April 2021 regarding decisions related to Afghanistan and again after a significant Supreme Court ruling concerning abortion rights in June 2022.<\/p>\n<p>You can watch this highly anticipated interview at 9 p.m. on CNN during &#8220;The First Interview: Harris &amp; Walz &#8211; A CNN Exclusive.&#8221; This marks an important moment just 68 days before Election Day and ahead of early voting starting soon in key states.
