Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz will give their first joint interview with CNN tonight, following last week’s Democratic National Convention. Read on to find out what time the Harris-Walz interview will air on CNN.
In early August, Harris told reporters she aimed to have an “interview scheduled before the end of the month.” However, as of early this week, the Democratic presidential nominee had not hosted a town hall or participated in a sit-down media interview—drawing frequent criticism from her Republican rivals, including former President Donald Trump and Ohio Sen. JD Vance.

On Tuesday, the New York Times published 21 questions for Harris’ potential administration, addressing topics such as economic and foreign policy, and social issues like abortion and climate change. Later that same day, CNN announced that the network would host Harris and Walz’s first sit-down interview as the candidates tour Georgia, a key battleground state.
Thursday’s interview will provide Harris with her first opportunity to clarify her positions on various domestic and foreign issues “during a campaign that has so far been heavy on vibes but light on concrete policy,” according to CNN. It will also give the Vice President a chance to explain how her views might differ from Biden’s since taking over the Democratic ticket.
