In the initial conversation post-nomination, Harris discussed his perspectives.
In the chat with CNN's Dana Bash, Harris mentioned that, should she secure victory in the presidential election coming up in November, she would incorporate a Republican into her cabinet to foster national unity.
The discussion took place while Harris was on a campaign excursion to Savannah, Georgia. This interview marks her first engaging with media since being selected as the Democratic nominee and is scheduled to air at 9:00 PM local time (01:00 AM CET on Friday).
The GOP, spearheaded by ex-President Donald Trump, has persistently targeted Harris, claiming that she's shied away from interviews ever since President Joe Biden withdrew from the race for the Oval Office.
During the post-interview analysis, it was noted that Harris highlighted the importance of her future cabinet, mentioning an upcoming appointment to a significant role for a Republican to promote unity. The GOP, despite criticisms, has expressed hope that Harris will honor her campaign promise of including a Republican in her cabinet.
