The broadcast of the first interview given by Democrat Harris as a presidential candidate is eagerly awaited. The US broadcaster CNN has published a first excerpt in advance.
In her first TV interview since her nomination, Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris emphasized her political steadfastness. “I think the most important and significant aspect of my political perspective and my decisions is that my values have not changed,” Harris said when asked by CNN journalist Dana Bash whether voters could rely on her word during the election campaign, even though her political positions had changed in the past.
The US broadcaster released the excerpt shortly after the interview was recorded in Savannah, Georgia. The entire interview will be broadcast on Thursday evening (local time/German night to Friday 3:00 a.m. CEST). Harris continued to talk about climate policy and securing the US southern border with Mexico.
The campaign team of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump reacted immediately and announced that Harris had confirmed that she was still a “radical leftist.” Trump had recently repeatedly criticized the fact that his opponent had not yet given an interview in her new role, nor had she held a press conference. In fact, the new front woman of the Democrats in the election campaign has only appeared in the protected space of choreographed and staged campaign appearances in recent weeks.
