Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz are set to participate in their first joint interview on Thursday as part of efforts to sustain the momentum generated by the recent Democratic National Convention. The interview, conducted by a chief political correspondent, will be aired at 9 p.m. ET on Thursday. This event coincides with the candidates' bus tour in Georgia and marks Harris' first in-depth, on-the-record conversation with a journalist since President Joe Biden endorsed her on July 21.
Despite the enthusiasm surrounding Harris' campaign, the lack of a formal news conference or interview has drawn criticism from Republican rivals. The upcoming interview fulfills Harris' commitment to engage in a sit-down before the end of August, signaling a new phase in her campaign post-convention. As early voting approaches, Harris and Walz anticipate increased scrutiny, especially with an upcoming debate on September 10 against her Republican opponent.
