Vice President Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) are set to give their first joint interview with CNN on Thursday, according to the network. CNN’s Dana Bash will lead the conversation, which is scheduled to air at 9 p.m. EDT.
Harris has been under increasing scrutiny to grant a comprehensive interview since she emerged as the Democratic vice-presidential candidate. Up to now, her public responses have been limited to brief interactions with traveling reporters. Earlier this month, Harris committed to conducting a full interview before August concluded, following the Democratic National Convention where she and Walz received their formal nominations.

The interview will be recorded during the day on Thursday in Georgia, where Harris is engaged in a bus tour this week. It will be broadcast on CNN’s cable channel and available for live streaming through CNN.com, its connected TV services, and mobile apps for subscribers.
This interview represents a pivotal opportunity for both Harris and CNN, which recently hosted the inaugural debate between President Biden and former President Trump, moderated by Bash alongside CNN anchor Jake Tapper. Trump has frequently criticized CNN and other mainstream media for alleged bias, while predominantly appearing on Fox News and conservative platforms, and holding press briefings at his New Jersey and Florida golf clubs.
The timing of this interview is particularly as Harris is set to face Trump in a debate on September 10, broadcast by ABC. Trump confirmed his participation earlier on Tuesday after initially expressing concerns about the debate’s rules.
