SAVANNAH: Kamala Harris declared on Thursday (Aug 29) that Americans are ready to turn the page on Donald Trump as she reached out to centrist voters in her first interview since her dramatic entry into November's presidential election.
Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris steps off her campaign bus at Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport in Savannah, Georgia, Aug 29, 2024 after a bus tour and campaign rally. SAVANNAH: Kamala Harris declared on Thursday that Americans are ready to turn the page on Donald Trump as she reached out to centrist voters in her first interview since her dramatic entry into November's presidential election.
The first female and Black and South Asian vice president described Trump as"diminishing the character and the strength of who we are as Americans, really dividing our nation." Harris rejected criticism that she has shifted positions on politically sensitive issues including fracking, which she once opposed but now supports, and illegal migration over the Mexican border, where she has taken a harder line.
Her comments appeared designed to court centrist voters worried by immigration and fuel costs. But in a nod to her left-leaning supporters, she insisted that she had not fundamentally shifted., but told CNN that she would not change President Joe Biden's policies for key US ally Israel, including deliveries of weaponry.
"He told me what he had decided to do. And I asked him, 'Are you sure?' And he said, 'Yes,'" she said. Harris has also been cautious with the media since a widely panned interview on migration in 2021, but she offered a measured performance on CNN on Thursday.Harris gave the interview while on a campaign bus tour of Georgia, one of the seven battleground states that are expected to decide the Nov 5 election.
