Finally, after ducking an interview since she was handed the Democratic nomination for president on a silver platter, Kamala Harris is going to do an interview.
Of course, because it’s the Democrats, you always know there’s a little more to that story. It’s not going to be a live interview. It’s going to be on CNN and it will be taped. And the person conducting it will be Dana Bash, the same person who contested that Harris had been appointed border czar. So, you know even before we get to the interview, it’s probably going to be a softball piece.
Oh, and there’s one other big thing — Harris is not doing it alone; she’s doing it with Tim Walz, her running mate.
NEW: Kamala Harris’ First Interview Is Finally Scheduled, and the Details Are Pathetic
So, she’s been so afraid to do one that she’s put off any interview at all for weeks since July 21, and now she can’t even do one by herself? She needs the help of Tim Walz who has no problem talking, just a big problem with the truth. Is that so he can help her sound more lucid and fill in the blanks when she goes off into a word salad, and she can keep an eye on him to make sure he doesn’t go off the reservation on the issues? Hopefully, they don’t give them the questions ahead of time but all they have to do is a little favorable editing of the bad parts and the word salads.
Former President Donald Trump and JD Vance are constantly doing interviews and answering questions from the press. What does it mean when it’s like pulling teeth to even get this much out of Harris? How can she possibly deal with world leaders when she can’t even deal well with friendly press in a one-on-one interview?
As we’ve seen on Tuesday alone, we were getting stories about two different flip-flops. She can’t even seem to keep her own beliefs or policies straight. Or she wants to be fuzzy during the campaign to make people believe she’s flipped to more centrist views so if she gets in, she can say, “Oh, I never really said that.”

But people weren’t holding back with what a cowardly move they thought Harris was making here. Some compared it to a job interview and bringing along a parent to help you in the interview.
Megyn Kelly nailed it.
The campaign claims she is going to give an interview but not solo – it will be w/Walz, her Emotional Support Governor. https://t.co/RSKQP011i7

“The campaign claims she is going to give an interview but not solo – it will be w/Walz, her Emotional Support Governor,” she declared.
Oh, my, and that’s right on target. Just like a dog that she needs to keep her calm and stop her from going off the rails. It’s so apropos for the Democrats in general. Everything is about the “feels”; nothing is about the substance. I fully expect the interview to be the same way — with nothing substantive and both Harris and Walz saying how they want to make things better without any real answer as to how.
If she needs all that help, the debate on Sept. 10 is likely to be quite a mess.
