As much as I’d like to not advertise any single media source, CNN scored the sit down interview so it is what it is.

It’s live right now, will be interesting to see what people think!

How is healthcare policy just not an election issue anymore?
I mean, technically it is. Harris is status quo, Trump is burn it down.
Oh god it’s a repeat of 2016
People act like polling actually reflects reality instead of the people who decide answering polls is a good use of their time
Polling. Politicians and pollsters often survey the public to see which issues they should prioritize.

The current top issues are the economy, cost of living, poor government leadership, and immigration.
Three commercial breaks in and so far they’re both doing very well.
Yep. So far they’ve been well-spoken, clear, and in a couple instances pretty funny.
Will not ban fracking. Consistent stand since the debate in 2020.
Would appoint a Republican, nobody in particular in mind.
Appoint a sitting congressperson to flip their seat lololol
Then fire them.
It’s normal.
JFK, LBJ, Nixon, Carter, Reagan, GHWB, Clinton, GWB, and Obama all appointed to their cabinet at least one person from the opposite party.
And Harris didn’t say she would appoint a Republican politician. When Obama chose Bob McDonald for Veterans Affairs, people barely noticed he was registered as a Republican. And one of Donald Trump’s senior advisors was Ivanka Trump - who at the time was a registered Democrat.
Raskin or Liz Cheney
Raskin is a Democrat.
Liz Cheney
Christ, imagine living through the '00s and thinking Dick’s daughter should be anywhere near a position of power. Ffs, she threw her own sister under the bus for being a lesbian.
Would appoint a Republican to Attorney general, most likely. Don’t want a democrat going after the “wrong crooks”
“Why did it take 3 1/2 years to do anything on immigration?”
LOL.
Couple of softballs at the end, asking Walz about the Gus “that’s my dad!” moment and Harris about “the photograph”.
Still 10 minutes left in the hour, not sure why they stopped short.
CNN has asked Trump and Vance for a sit down as well.
All in all, a mediocre performance by the interviewer, while Harris and Walz were charming and good together. I got the impression they genuinely like each other.
Get somebody who looks at you the way Harris looks at Walz for the “that’s my dad!” question.
I told my partner about 10 times that I had a serious crush on Tim Walz lol…keep talking, boo…yeah…those sweet sweet kind words….
A few questions in and the CNN interviewer seems overtly hostile.
It was a puff piece. Hostile would be following up “Will you appoint a republican to your cabinet” with “Will you appoint a Palestinian”. How can you ask 250,000 Muslims in Michigan to vote for you while you bomb people just like them, some of whom are their family members?
“Do you realize every time you promote border security and migrant crime, you’re campaigning for republicans?”
Just neutral would be following up her agenda with practical questions:
How will you carry out your agenda? Do you plan to do it all in reconciliation? Will you tell the senate to abolish the filibuster? Executive orders? Will you increase the number of SCOTUS judges, ignore the SCOTUS’s orders, or throw your hands up if they block your agenda?
I think a town hall would have been better than this interview.
I’m sure there’s time for that? At least one?
yet to see the 2 on the other side show up in the same place at the same time
I was thinking about that earlier when someone mentioned they probably have never spoken to each other. Have they literally not been in the same place?
Really hammering Walz on mis-statements. “Carried weapons in war, didn’t have IVF, lied about DUI…”
Still no daylight between her and Biden on Gaza.
Nope, and there won’t be as long as AIPAC has a $100 million to throw at the election.
Such corruption is anathema to democracy.
Yup, and everyone told the Supreme Court this would be the end result of Citizens United.
AIPAC predates Citizens United. The military-industrial complex determining American foreign policy is as old as America.
AIPAC pre-dates Citizens United, but CU allows them to influence elections to a much greater degree than they could previously.
