Vice President Kamala Harris has agreed to take part in her first major interview since taking over the top of the Democrat ticket more than a month ago. She will be joined by her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, for a sit-down on CNN Thursday.
Former President Donald Trump's campaign has drafted a list of questions for Harris, which it sent out in an email blast and posted in an X thread Tuesday.
"Last night, CNN announced that Kamala has mustered up the courage to sit for a *joint* interview — after 39 days of hiding out from reporters. Here are 10 questions @DanaBashCNN MUST ask Kamala Harris ..."
Topics include:
- Harris' flip-flopping: "You have sent anonymous aides out to claim you've abandoned the radically liberal positions that you've held for decades. Do you think lying to the American people is the best strategy?"
- President Joe Biden's mental capacity: "Why did you conceal Joe Biden's cognitive decline from the American people?"
- The economy: "If you are capable of lowering prices for Americans, why haven't you done it in the 3 1/2 years you have been in office?"
Team Trump also wants to know why Harris continues to hold "radical" positions, such as getting rid of cash bail and defunding the police, and why she supported "executive actions like stopping construction of the border wall and halting deportations that intentionally unsecured the border?"
The thread concluded: "It's no coincidence that Kamala's first interview is scheduled for the Thursday night before Labor Day weekend. They already hope it gets lost — and it hasn't even aired yet. Kamala is clearly scared to do an interview on her own and it's pre-taped so they can clean it up."
The Harris-Walz interview will be taped Thursday and is expected to air at 9 p.m. ET on CNN.
