Vice President Kamala Harris is participating in her inaugural solo interview on Friday since launching her 2024 presidential campaign. She spoke with Action News 6 ABC, a Philadelphia-based station, with the airing scheduled for Friday afternoon. On Thursday, Harris&#8217;s campaign announced plans to connect with local media in key battleground states and to hold a panel discussion with the National Association of Black Journalists later this month. This move comes amid criticism regarding her limited media presence. The upcoming interview may serve as an opportunity for Harris to communicate her message to voters in this Democratic stronghold, which is crucial for her success in the important battleground state. An early glimpse of the interview featured journalist Brian Taff asking how she intends to reach out to Trump supporters. Harris replied that she believes most Americans share more common ground than differences and desire a leader who unites rather than divides them. In another segment previewed by the local news channel, Taff questioned Harris about her views on gun control; she stated that both she and Walz are gun owners who advocate for universal background checks and a ban on assault-style weapons while affirming support for the Second Amendment and reasonable gun safety laws without taking away anyone&#8217;s guns. Previously, during an interview with CNN alongside running mate Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), she faced some backlash for not disclosing specific policy positions or conducting an individual interview\u2014both of which will change as she faces a journalist alone in this first solo sit-down since becoming the Democratic nominee<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2340920,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Harris-interview.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[4087,4021,5522,40869],"class_list":["post-2340919","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-campaign","tag-harris","tag-philadelphia","tag-solo-interview"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Harris-interview.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2340919","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2340919"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2340919\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2340920"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2340919"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2340919"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2340919"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
