In a recent interview, Vice President Kamala Harris, alongside her running mate Tim Walz, emphasized her commitment to appointing a Republican to her cabinet if elected president, asserting the importance of diverse perspectives in governance. While defending her policy shifts towards the center, particularly concerning immigration and fracking, Harris insisted that her core values have remained unchanged. She articulated her belief in the urgency of addressing the climate crisis and maintaining border security, drawing on her extensive experience as vice president. Harris stated, 'I think it’s important to have people at the table when some of the most important decisions are being made that have different views.' The interview marks her first major media appearance since becoming the Democratic nominee, as she prepares for the upcoming election against former President Donald Trump. Harris also responded to criticisms about her changing positions, attributing them to the insights gained from her vice presidential role.
