How to Watch CNN’s Kamala Harris-Tim Walz Interview with Dana Bash

Vice President Kamala Harris is scheduled to give her first major interview since becoming the Democratic presidential candidate on CNN Thursday night.

Harris’ vice presidential candidate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, will appear alongside her for an interview with Domestic policy host Dana’s Bash. Although it will air later tonight, the interview is scheduled to be taped at 1:45 p.m. ET as Harris and Walz take a bus tour of southern Georgia ahead of a planned rally in Savannah, Associated Press reports.

CNN is headquartered in Atlanta.

Why is Kamala Harris’ CNN interview significant?

The CNN Harris-Walz interview, announced Tuesday, follows weeks of criticism for Harris’ lack of press availability since President Joe Biden withdrew from the race. The Trump campaign has taken advantage of Harris’ constrained media access since the start of her campaign, and issued a statement this week questioning the timing of the CNN interview before Labor Day weekend.

“They’re already hoping this will go down the drain — and it hasn’t even aired yet,” Trump’s campaign said. “Kamala is clearly afraid to do the interview herself, and the tape is pre-recorded so they can scrub it clean if something goes wrong.”

Harris has not given a single in-depth interview since launching her campaign more than a month ago, which could make Thursday’s CNN broadcast a watershed moment of sorts for her campaign.

When and how can I watch the Harris-Walz interview on CNN?

The network will air the Harris-Walz interview on all of its platforms at 9 p.m. ET on Thursday. A live stream of the broadcast will be available to paying subscribers on the network’s website, as well as on CNN TV and mobile apps.

In addition, if you miss the broadcast on Thursday, the interview will be available on demand on CNN platforms starting Friday, the network said.

Who is Dana Bash the interviewer?

Bash, who has worked for CNN for more than two decades, serves as the network’s chief political correspondent and hosts Domestic policy and co-host State of the Union alongside Jake Tapper.

Bash co-moderated the June debate between former President Donald Trump and Biden, whose dismal performance ultimately contributed to his decision not to seek re-election.

Interview, CNN wrote in an ad articlewill be Harris’ first major opportunity to discuss stern issues in a campaign that has “so far been high on vibe but low on substantive policy.”
