Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz are set to have their first major television interview of the presidential campaign during a bus tour in southeast Georgia. The interview with CNN's Dana Bash aims to address criticism that Harris has avoided uncontrolled environments and provide a platform to define her campaign ahead of an upcoming debate with former President Donald Trump on Sept. 10.
Joint interviews during an election year are common in politics, with previous candidates like Biden, Trump, Pence, and Obama participating. However, Harris has not yet done an in-depth interview since becoming the party's standard bearer five weeks ago. The CNN interview will air at 9 p.m. EDT Thursday, coinciding with Harris' bus tour through southeast Georgia, culminating in a rally in Savannah.
