Five key takeaways from Kamala Harris, Tim Walz’s first major TV interview

The Democratic nominee and her running mate sat down with CNN’s Dana Bash to discuss their plans for the presidency.

Democratic nominee Kamala Harris and her running mate Tim Walz have appeared on CNN for their first major in-depth interview since launching their bid for the United States presidency.

Harris, in particular, has faced scrutiny for avoiding a major media interview since announcing her candidacy late last month.

But on Thursday, she and Walz met CNN anchor Dana Bash in the coastal city of Savannah for an hour-long interview, as Harris campaigned across the battleground state of Georgia.

Harris quickly tried to establish her bona fides as a unifying candidate, in an attempt to draw a distinction with her Republican rival, former President Donald Trump.
