In an exclusive interview with CNN, Harris explains why he has changed his stance on important issues since the first presidential election.
Introduction: In an exclusive
Vice President Kamala Harris on
Thursday gave her most comprehensive
statement yet about why she has changed
some of her positions on fracking and
immigration, telling CNN’s Dana Bash
that her values have not changed.
The case has some problems.
This country’s most pressing problem.
In an exclusive interview with CNN,
Harris also said that if elected, he
would nominate Republicans to his Cabinet.
He described for the first time how
President Joe Biden was told by telephone
after his disastrous performance in the
debates that he had withdrawn his bid
for a second term. He did not say he
would change Biden’s policy on arms sales to Israel.
And she dodged competing questions
about her racial identity, dismissing
Donald Trump’s claim that she
“just happens to be black.”
Harris, making good
Harris, making good on his promise
to be a president for “all Americans,”
said in an interview that he would
appoint a Republican to his cabinet if elected, though he said he had no specific name in mind. It revives the tradition of the past decades (neither Trump nor Biden accepted it), when presidents appointed at least one member of the opposition party to their cabinet.
“I have 68 days until the election, so I’m not putting the cart before the horse,” he said. “But I will, I guess. I think this is very important. All my life I have expressed different opinions. I think it’s important to have people with different views and experiences at the table when making important decisions. In my opinion, having a Republican in my cabinet is beneficial to the American people.
Harris has spoken little on the campaign trail about the nature of the obstacles standing in his way to launching his candidacy, but in interviews he has felt the weight of history, such as when he saw a photo of one of his young grandmothers speaking to him in moments saw him talking about how depressed he was about last week’s games
“I am running because I believe I am the best person right now to do this for all Americans, regardless of race or gender,” he said. But when I actually saw the picture, I was very impressed.
