Harris and running mate Tim Walz will speak with CNN during a campaign stop in Georgia, marking a significant moment in the final weeks before Election Day. GOP critics have accused Harris of using Walz as a "human shield," while Trump campaigns in Michigan and Wisconsin.
This interview, airing at 9:00 pm local time, is Harris's first major media appearance since President Biden exited the race. Harris's spokesman defended the joint interview, citing it as a long-standing election tradition.
The 2024 election has been unconventional, with Harris thrust into the spotlight quickly and criticized for her limited media interactions. Recent polls show her gaining support, with a lead over Trump in some surveys.
Harris's performance will be closely watched, especially given past unscripted moments that Republicans have highlighted. Her first debate with Trump on September 10 may offer another opportunity to solidify her position.
