Ms. Kamala Harris appeared on CNN with her running mate - Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota.
This is also the first joint interview between Ms. Harris and Mr. Walz since the Minnesota Governor joined the campaign and the first important interview since Vice President Kamala Harris became the presidential candidate of Democrats 5 weeks before President Joe Biden withdraws.
The interview took place in Georgia, moderated by CNN anchor Dana Bash. Dana Bash was also the co-moderator of the June debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. CNN plans to record the event on the afternoon of August 29 and broadcast it at 9 p.m. the same day.
The Washington Post noted that Ms. Harris has faced increasing pressure to participate in a formal, in-depth interview since she became the Democratic Party's presidential candidate. Nearly 3 weeks ago, she shared with the press that she would schedule an interview before the end of August and the interview with CNN took place 2 days before the deadline she mentioned.
According to the New York Times, in the television world, the interview on August 29 was a highly anticipated event for Ms. Bash and CNN - the channel that plays an important role in this year's US presidential election campaign.
Appearing on MSNBC - a TV channel with a large liberal viewership - may not be appreciated by some voters. Democratic leaders are also wary of Fox News.
