BREAKING: Kamala Harris and Tim Walz announce joint interview on CNN

Vice President Kamala Harris has announced plans to sit for her very first interview since she announced the start of her campaign in July, and it will be a joint interview with her running mate Tim Walz on CNN. The interview with CNN's Dana Bash will be on Thursday at 9 pm.

The vice president and Democrat Party presidential nominee has not sat for an interview since taking over at the top of the ticket for President Joe Biden. She had promised to get one on the schedule before the end of August, and Thursday will be August 29, just two days before the month comes to a close.

Normally, a candidate speaks for themselves during interviews where they ask the American public to vote them into the highest office in the nation, but Harris will be stepping out with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who she has chosen to be her running mate.

Harris has not held a press conference, either, and has barely taken questions from press at all. Her candidacy has been compared to that of Biden's, who ran in 2020 during the Covid era and was barely seen in public. Even his campaign rallies often simply featured many Jeeps, spaced 6 feet apart, while he stood on stage speaking out to the Jeeps.

Allies of the campaign and Democrat lawmakers have indicated that perhaps Harris' best strategy is not to take questions or to speak to press at all. The Democratic National Convention, which was held in Chicago last week, featured what many, including Democrat activists, called rhetoric and platitudes. The entire undertaking was short on message and high on vibes, which appeared to be the plan.

The campaign website for Harris and Walz still lacks any policy positions and criticism has mounted that perhaps her goal is to win an election without telling anyone what she stands for. CNN notes that while Harris sat for interviews with "content creators and influencers" while in Chicago, "That has done little to dampen criticism."

Harris and President Donald Trump have also finally come to a rules agreement for their only scheduled debate, which will take place on ABC on September 10. Harris was said to have requested that the debate be sitting down and asked that the candidates could have notes to aid them during the conversation. That was rejected by the Trump campaign.

Harris was slammed by Trump's running mate JD Vance over her lack of media availability or policy accountability. "I think it’s really disgraceful, both for Kamala Harris but also for a lot of the American media that participates in this stuff, to have a person who has been the presumptive nominee of the Democrat Party for 17 days and refuses to take a single question from the American media," he said.
