Pressure is building and Kamala Harris to do our first sit down interview since becoming the nominee. As she prepares to return to the campaign . The painter with a bus tour through georgia tomorrow, plots free after 300 326 days Israel Military says it rescue the hostages held captive in gaza since the hamas Terror Attack on october 7. Cnn, his live in tel aviv with the breaking details and hell do anything for trump. Thats why Kash Patel Good to be a key player in second trump term. Thats also why former Trump Officials are worried about her. Raju, lets go behind the headlines. And Inside Politics we start with Kamala Harriss next big test major for tv interview. Vice president said it would be quote scheduled before the end of the month. Thats of course, for days from now. And this will be a major moment for the Vice President who spent her fiveweek campaign doing mainly scripted events and it comes as she prepares for another crucial postconvention moment, the september 10 debate with donald trump which will hopefully remain on the schedule. Cnns eva mckend has been talking to the Harris Campaign so eva, what are you hearing . Or mano, they are leaning into an economy first message, we see that with particularly emphasis on lowering housing costs, the Vice President says the Housing Shortage can be addressed by building 3 million new homes and rentals scholes. That seems to be a way that campaign is trying to thwart the persistent criticism from all corners regarding the lack of a sitdown interview and the absence of aggressive questions from the press ian sams, a campaign adviser, speaking to us earlier this week and he said that she is in fact going to sit down for an interview you at the end of the month and then he also nor noted in their defense that she is regularly taking questions from reporters on the Campaign Trail that isnt sort of a fulsome interview though, that would answer these big Policy Questions like why she has shifted on immigration, and that is something that the press really has desire to have answers for. Meanwhile, though, the Vice President and minnesota governor tim walz, theyre going to be launching a bus tour across south georgia tomorrow, Concluding With A Thursday Night Rally around savannah, georgia, of course, remains a critical battleground state. And while there is tremendous focus on voters of color and urban centers theres they are also focused on capturing those voters. So key to the Democratic Coalition in Rural Communities as well, manu, all right, eva mckend, thank you for that report and joining me now at the table are some fantastic reporters covering all of this nprs tamara keith, the wall street journals catherine lucey, cnns daniel strauss, and cnns kristen holmes. Nice to see all of you look, she could have come out and had a some more interviews early on. Of course, the democrats will defend our position on this saying, look, shes just a candidate. She had to prepare for van can we had to get all of the machinery of a campaign in place in a matter of days. Fine. Thats true, but also someone whos been on the publics seen for some time in can answer questions as well formulated positions. But by waiting this long, its really built. So the pressure on this moment for the Vice President which it reminds me of the pressure that was built on President Biden when he was, when his campaign was struggling and everybody was like, well, what is he going to do an interview . When is he going to do an interview . He finally didnt interview. It was fine. It didnt really change things much but really harris throughout her very shortly and pain has been having a oneway conversation. It has not been a twoway conversation. She has been able to control the outgoing message and hasnt really had to deal with a lot of incoming. She has done these quick gaggles by the by air force two or in the hotel where its rapid fire questions, rapidfire answer is no time for followup and president s love to do that. Former President Trump likes to do it. President biden likes to do it. You know, its chopper talk and that puts the candidate or the president in the drivers seat because they are choosing the question they ask and they can walk away when they want the camera is not rolling actively here settings right . Its very different. Taking a couple of questions on a tarmac is very different. A full sit down interview where there is backandforth for someone pushes you on past positions but also, i think this is in some ways an extension of the biden approach to interviews, which was there was a lot of skepticism in his campaign and his white house about the utility of traditional interviews with traditional outlets like ours certainly for harris shes had a month of largely positive press. They have been pushing their message out. Theyve just gotten through the dnc and so i think there is this sense of east among some people are under that they are they have a lot of Forward Momentum without inner yeah. And thats the thing its the incentive to continue on doing this. The polls are looking great. It looks she has been inherently a very cautious politician. I mean, i interviewed him many times as a senator asking you a questions and her sidestepping those questions because shes doesnt take sometimes a sort of positions because hes worried if you take a certain position, youre going to get hammered for it. But then if youre very cautious, youre getting hammered for it as well. So do we think that her approach will be different now as the president ial nominee and not having as not being the running mate, having to serve the president for i dont know if theres enough time for her to take a dramatically different approach. And so far, the incentives for her to stay the courts have been pretty positive for her. Its not like ive heard democrats say, why should we rush to do an interview we like how the narrative is going right now. We like that we are on offense. Why change that . And its clear that republicans in this moment want an interview and want her to trip up as she has in the past and then clip that and push that out. And they are really hoping that this burst of enthusiasm for is just a bubble. And of course thats what the trump and Vance Campaign absolutely want because they need to change their narrative, which has been going against them really since he jumped into the race. But look, there are things that she has said in the past that shes going to have to answer for and then she suggested or campaign has suggested she has changed her position on the issue of fracking. For instance, she said that before in the past in 2019, when she was a primary candidate running for the democratic nomination, he said she was opposed to fracking. Shes changed her position on that issue. Medicare for all singlepayer health care. She had there have been opened and medicare for all. Now go campaign is saying background mean not necessarily on the record. Now from the candidate herself, that she is no longer in favor of that. Those are complicated questions you have to explain how she reconciles are current views with our past fields. And i was actually thinking about that today, about how different this is just given the unprecedented that nature, because she didnt have to go through a primary yes, she did. Back in 2020, but this time around, she didnt have that almost immediate recollection of the American Voter of her talking about Ending Fracking of her talking about these farther left policies that was now what, four years ago and we know that the American Voters memory is very short. She has this opportunity to kind of change the narrative because there is not this instant recollection of something she just said in january of this year. But again, as you said, there are still questions about how you can go from a to b particularly make those kind of tight turns at a time where obviously pencil well then you might be the most critical state fracking very important in pennsylvania to change your opinion on that and then not answer questions. And thats obviously what youre hearing from republicans and the Trump Campaign. Im not sure that the narrative is loud enough from republicans and the Trump Campaign at this point to try and force for to do something, as you said, democrats are pretty happy with the way things are going right now. But she has now said that shes going to do an interview by the end of the month were getting to the pretty meantime, i want to turn to what you have some new reporting about the Trump Transition Tier about some of the new people on trump including rfk junior, who said that over the weekend, there was no sort of quid pro quo, no deal, and the like, but it turns out that both Tulsi Gabbard, a former democrat who is now endorsing trump and rfk junior have a role in at least selecting the next people in the government . Yeah, theyre going to have a big role in this the Transition Team has four people so far, so adding them to a fourperson team, making it six people, thats a pretty substantial amount of weight that theyre carrying. And it will tell you part of this is because theyre trying to reach they being the Trump Campaign, the damage for graphic that does support Tulsi Gabbard, that does support rfk, which they believe is a pretty similar demographic obviously, both of them, once progressive democrats now have shifted Conservative Rfk most, the most substantial stiffing supporting donald trump in this election, but they also were trying to make those voters that Tulsi Gabbard, the rfk voters, voters who dont usually go to the polls. Remember, go to the polls in november, the question is, how do you do that . And part of thats going to be saying, well, they have a role now in the administration, so its not just oh, they like me theyre going to help the people you like if you elect me are going to help put the other people you like into my administration. So theyre trying to go a step further because they want to drive those independents to vote independence again, who they see that 6 , theyve done to actually show up, but that could give harris something so certainly, i mean, the oppo file on both gabbard and rfk junior is massive. The other question about the transition is, as you might remember, the Trump Campaign had a robust Transition Plan in 2016 put together by chris christie. It was thrilling now, and it turned you know, the partnership for Public Service did a call yesterday. They described the 2016 transition as one of the worst transitions ever in part because the transition was thrown out so this is a great honorific that is being bestowed on these people, right now. Will they actually be selecting the government or they make an imaginary document that will go anywhere, i guess well find out to keep them happy exactly right. Yes. A big part of it is showing showing right. It does rfk junior in the trump camp have any impact on this race . I mean, i think to the point about vote, there there are there are voters out there who are interested in rfk. There are independent voters. Theyre trying to pull in. We saw in polls that there was an rfk vote, right . So the question is going to wear to those folks. Go. How many of them are going to show up . I mean, i think a lot of those things is there unclear and i think we need to see more polling but certainly at certain points in the campaign, he was pulling a decent amount and polls. So i think there were, but that also some of that was a universe where people were unhappy with both biden and with trump. The plates have shifted yeah. Ive kept an eye. Well, well see if well will happen, then well see if theres going to be a debate on september 10, still debate over the debate, of course, as well. All right.
