Both she and Walz will speak in an interview airing Thursday on CNN.
Donald Trump hit several crucial swing states as Kamala Harris continues to ride on the high energy from the DNC.is expected to soon face her first post-convention test when she sits for a formal interview airing in primetime on Thursday.will be interviewed by anchor Dana Bash, marking the first sitdown with a reporter since President Joe Biden bowed out of the race.
The initial absence of plans for any such sit-down prompted accusations by Republican critics of dodging the press. The lack of a media interview has yet to hurt Harris, whose poll numbers are outpacing those of President Joe Biden when he was atop the Democratic ticket, according to 538's national polling average. As of Tuesday, Harris is polling ahead of Trump, 47.2% to 43.6%; when Biden left the race, he was polling at 40.2% compared to Trump's 43.5%, according to 538's polling average.
All the while, Trump has seemed to abandon the discipline Republicans had lauded him for this summer. Recently, he has made false claims about the crowd size at a Harris rally and appeared to forget to mention a policy proposal he had been slated to unveil at an event in Michigan.One of those hurdles is the pending media interview, where Harris would likely have to defend the decisions of the Biden administration and specify some of her policy stances.
Harris is also likely to be pressed on how much she knew about Biden's capacities prior to the June 27 debate. That night, she urged Americans to judge Biden not on the "90 minutes" on stage but the "three-and-a-half years of performance." Harris would surely be asked about the war in Gaza. She said recently, "We need a cease-fire," but is a member of an administration that has yet to help broker one.
