The pre-taped interview, with CNN news anchor Dana Bash, will air tonight at 8 p.m. Central Time.
Harris was expected to sit down with Bash with her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz, by her side.
The interview tonight comes after Harris has failed to do a sit-down interview for 30-plus days, even with liberal and sympathetic news outlets, after top Democrats shoved aside Joe Biden and installed his vice president as their presumptive nominee.
The speculation among right-leaning political observers is Harris has refused to do even a softball interview because she will make a rambling, nonsensical statement, or sound like she’s talking to a kindergarten class, both of which she has become famous for – along with her grating cackle.
Because the Democrat is seeking the most powerful job in the world, Christian apologist Alex McFarland says giving an unscripted interview is the very least she should be doing to win the White House.
Joe Biden hid from the American voters in 2020, which worked in his favor, McFarland says, and now the Harris campaign is trying the same thing with what he calls an “empty pantsuit” candidate who can’t articulate what she believes and why.
“If she cannot do a solo press conference live, without a safety net,” McFarland argues, “she is not worthy of an American’s vote.”
A story by Politico, published Tuesday morning, described internal debate in the Harris campaign. Campaign staff was debating which liberal news outlet – CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC – she would choose since all of them were working the phones to land that exclusive interview.
A follow-up story at Politico, published Tuesday evening, announced Bash and CNN had been picked.
Bash, who co-anchored the Trump-Biden debate in July, was most recently ridiculed for her observation about the Democrat Party courting low-testosterone men at the Democratic National Convention.
In a social media statement about the CNN interview, Trump said Bash was “fair, but firm” as the debate co-anchor and has a chance to expose Harris as “inept and ill suited” to be president. Bash has a “chance to reach REAL stardom, while at the same time doing a great service to our now failing Country,” he also wrote.
