Harris to give first national solo interview as candidate
US Vice President Kamala Harris will sit Wednesday for her first major lone interview since becoming the Democratic presidential nominee, news network MSNBC announced.
The left-leaning TV network said the interview will be filmed in Pittsburgh, an industrial city in key swing state Pennsylvania, where Harris is also giving a speech Wednesday on her economic proposals.
It will air at 7:00 PM east coast time (2300 GMT), MSNBC said on X.
Harris has faced criticism from some political pundits for largely avoiding major interviews since she became the Democratic standard-bearer following President Joe Biden’s exit from the race.
She has only given one interview with a national TV network, in August, when she and her running mate Tim Walz sat for a joint CNN interview.
She has done several smaller interviews, with a local Pennsylvania TV network, a Wisconsin radio show and a podcast.
Harris also joined Oprah Winfrey this month for a livestreamed event to discuss her policies, though the event was to boost her campaign, not drill down on specifics.
