"Kamala Harris Responds to Policy Flip-Flops on CBS' '60 Minutes'"
As the election draws nearer, Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, sat down for an interview with CBS' “60 Minutes.” They discussed a variety of topics, including ongoing wars, the economy, and immigration, and responded to criticisms aimed at them.
During the pre-recorded interview, Harris was asked to clarify her shifting positions on fracking, border security, and other policy flip-flops. She responded by stating that she has been traveling the country, listening to people, and seeking common ground.
The CBS interviewer challenged Harris on how she got the nomination without a primary process or votes, to which Harris responded that she was proud to have earned the support. The interview also revealed that Harris owns a gun, a Glock, which she has had for some time due to her background in law enforcement.
The interview also touched on international issues, including ongoing tensions in the Middle East following Iran’s missile attacks on Israel. Harris stated that she considers Iran to be a significant adversary. When asked about the administration's influence over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Harris emphasized the need for the war to end.
The conversation also turned to the war in Ukraine, with Harris stating that there would be no success in ending the war without Ukraine and the U.N. Charter participating in defining what success looks like. She also stated that she would not meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin without Ukraine’s attendance.
Harris was also asked about her economic plan, which includes expanding the child tax credit. She maintained her stance on increasing taxes on the wealthy, despite the projected increase in debt by $3.5 trillion over the next decade as estimated by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.
The issue of border security was also raised, with Harris deflecting the question. In a separate interview, running mate Walz was asked about his trustworthiness after falsely claiming he was in Hong Kong during the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre.
During the interview, the Harris team sent out an email urging donors to support her campaign due to Trump leading in polls in Georgia, Arizona, and North Carolina.
Former President Donald Trump declined to participate in an interview with “60 Minutes” for its election special, despite initially agreeing to a sit-down at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
