In her first big interview since becoming the Democratic nominee for president, Kamala Harris shared her plans on some key issues. Speaking with CNN’s Dana Bash, Harris promised a tougher approach to illegal border crossings, saying those who enter the US unlawfully should face consequences. She also reaffirmed her support for Israel while pushing for a ceasefire in the Gaza conflict, and made it clear she would not stop arms shipments to Israel.
Harris, who became the Democratic nominee last month, is seeing a boost in polls and fundraising. She defended how she and President Joe Biden have handled inflation, acknowledging the tough economic situation they inherited from the pandemic. While she admitted that prices are still high, she pointed out the efforts being made to bring them down.
Since her presidential run in 2020, Harris has shifted her stance on some issues like migration and fracking. She now opposes a ban on fracking, recognizing its importance in key states like Pennsylvania, but stressed that her core values remain the same.
Accompanied by her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Harris talked about the possibility of including a Republican in her cabinet, highlighting the importance of having diverse opinions. She also addressed former President Trump’s remarks questioning her Black heritage, calling them a “tired playbook.”
Despite criticism for avoiding interviews since Biden endorsed her, Harris used this opportunity to show she can handle unexpected situations. Speaking to a crowd in Georgia, she emphasized the hard work needed to defeat Trump and expressed confidence in securing another Democratic win in the state.
