In an interview with CNN, Vice President Kamala Harris faced questions about changing her positions on U.S. policy. Her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, joined Harris during the interview.
Here are some key takeaways from Thursday's CNN interview with Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz:
- Economic Plans: Harris emphasized her commitment to supporting and strengthening the middle class. She mentioned that she would start implementing several proposals on her first day in office.
- Bipartisan Cabinet: Harris stated that she would appoint a Republican to her Cabinet if elected, highlighting her belief in the importance of diverse opinions and experiences in decision-making.
- Border Policy: Harris blamed former President Donald Trump for the failure of a bipartisan border deal earlier this year. She committed to pushing a comprehensive border bill through Congress if elected.
- Campaign Strategy: Harris and Walz are positioning themselves as candidates of change, with Harris addressing her past positions and emphasizing a forward-looking approach.
- Response to Criticism: Harris brushed off Trump’s questioning of her racial identity and focused on her policy proposals and vision for the future.
Meanwhile, Harris has stepped out of the shadow of her role as the Biden administration vice president and has established herself as a candidate who voters view largely in positive terms, giving her a narrow lead in the presidential election against Donald Trump, a new Wall Street Journal poll finds.
Harris had 48% support to Trump’s 47% in a head-to-head test of the two candidates, and she led by 2 points, 47% to 45%, on a ballot that included independent and third-party candidates, according to the poll, which was conducted after Democrats concluded their televised national convention. The leads in both matchups fell within the survey’s margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percentage points.
