Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz will sit with CNN for their first joint interview on Thursday as Democrats work to broaden their bases excitement from last weeks Democratic National Convention.
The interview, conducted by CNNs chief political correspondent and anchor Dana Bash, will air at 9 p.m. ET on Thursday. It occurs as the candidates embark on a bus tour through the battleground state of Georgia and marks the first time Harris has sat with a journalist for an in-depth, on-the-record conversation since President Joe Biden dropped his bid for a second term and endorsed her on July 21.
The 37 days since her candidacy began have generated a swell of enthusiasm and momentum for Harris, including at last weeks convention in Chicago. But her lack of a formal news conference or interview has generated criticism from her Republican rivals. Thursdays interview fulfils a vow she made earlier in August to schedule a sit-down before the end of the month.
With the interview, Harris extraordinarily truncated campaign is entering a new, post-convention phase. Her team is anticipating more scrutiny as she and Walz enter the final weeks before early voting begins. Harris has also been preparing for a September 10 debate with her Republican rival, former President Donald Trump.

I already saw some criticism that the interview is joint and not solo. Oy.
