Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz will sit for their first joint interview on Thursday with CNN, according to a release from the cable news network.

The interview will be conducted by CNN’s chief political correspondent and anchor Dana Bash in Georgia on Thursday afternoon and will air at 9 p.m. ET.

The highly anticipated interview will take place 39 days since Biden dropped out of his reelection campaign and endorsed Harris.

Bash has earned trust from President Biden’s White House and Harris’ team.

Bash interviewed Harris in April 2021 where the vice president made her comment about being the last person in the room when President Joe Biden made his decision to exit Afghanistan.

Bash also interviewed Harris in June 2022 about the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Harris’ reluctance to sit down for an interview has sparked some criticism from the media, but the vice president promised reporters she would schedule something before the end of the month.

Former President Donald Trump has repeatedly taunted Harris for her failure to sit down for an interview with the press or host a press conference.

‘She’s not doing any news conference. You know why she’s not doing it?’ Trump asked reporters earlier this month. ‘Because she can’t do a news conference. She doesn’t know how to do a news conference. She’s not smart enough to do a news conference.’

As vice president, Harris has not hosted a solo press conference since December 2, 2023 during a trip to Dubai.
