Vice President Kamala Harris has indicated she would consider appointing a Republican to her Cabinet if elected president, a statement met with skepticism by some Republicans like Rep. Byron Donalds. In her first CNN interview since becoming the Democratic nominee, Harris discussed her policy shifts and vision for a diverse Cabinet while addressing personal attacks from Donald Trump. Polls show Harris leading Trump in key Sun Belt states, suggesting her campaign strategy is resonating with voters. Her approach to media engagement has involved selective interviews and direct voter interactions rather than responding to Trump’s provocations. Harris has bolstered her campaign with strong support among women, Black voters, and young voters, contributing to her improved polling numbers over Joe Biden’s past performance.
