Americans have been waiting with baited breath to hear how Vice President Kamala Harris will perform when being interviewed, and those questions (and hopefully others) could soon be answered.
While the Harris campaign wasn't in any way deluded enough to put Harris in front of an interviewer who was likely to do anything beyond pitch her softballs the entire interview, she is, finally, going to be interviewed, as Breitbart News reported.
Alex Marquardt, the host of CNN's "Situation Room" and the Chief National Security Correspondent, made the announcement on Tuesday that the 2024 Democratic presidential candidate will be conducting her first interview as a candidate a joint interview with 2024 Democratic vice presidential candidate Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) with CNN on Thursday.
This will also be the first time that the two candidates have conducted an interview together as a ticket.
According to CNN Political Director David Chalian, Harris and Walz will be interviewed by CNN Chief Political Correspondent and anchor Dana Bash in Georgia on Thursday. The interview will be shown as a primetime special at nine o'clock Eastern time on Thursday.
Following this, Marquardt stated that Chalian, in his capacity as Political Director, will have a part in assisting Bash in the formulation of questions, and he inquired about the problems that Bash will concentrate on.
The response from Chalian was that although the economy is unquestionably the most significant problem, there are a great deal of other problems for which "we just haven't heard from her, yet, in this capacity, as the Democratic nominee."
The interview comes as Harris faces the pressure of being the Democrat nominee without actually being voted in by the American people.
It is no doubt not lost on the Harris campaign that she is only leading the ticket because her name was on the Biden-Harris ticket, and the campaign would have lost tens of millions of dollars of already pledged donations if Democrats had put forward any other candidate to be the Democrat nominee.
This has spread fear among many and prompted a dreary forecast from Fox News’ Karl Rove, who said during a recent segment for the station that the optimism seen by the Harris campaign could be misplaced.
The analyst cited polling from earlier this week that suggested Harris is performing worse than both President Joe Biden at this time in 2020 and former first lady Hillary Clinton in 2015.
Fox anchor Brett Baire cited a warning that has been offered to Harris where she was told that the practice of avoiding the media and keeping her policy plans close to the vest could be a move borne out of "conceit and foolhardiness."
Rove responded, saying “She [Harris] needs to be more specific. Let’s not be critical of her by saying she has to have a Democrat Congress and a Democrat Senate in order to get these things done.
"Because the same can be said for Donald Trump; he has to have a Republican Senate and a Republican House to get everything done. But people want to know where you’re coming from, and they want to know enough about the specifics to get their hands around it."
