READ: Kamala Harris and Tim Walz바카라 게임 웹사이트™s exclusive joint interview with CNN
Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz sat down exclusively with CNN Thursday for her first interview since ascending to the top of the Democratic ticket.Just days after accepting the nomination at the Democratic National Convention, Harris answered wide-ranging questions from CNN바카라 게임 웹사이트™s Dana Bash, including on her economic and border policies, attacks on her race from former President Donald Trump and the call from President Joe Biden to tell her he was withdrawing from the race.Read the full transcript of the exclusive interview below.BASH: Madam Vice President, Governor Walz, thank you so much for sitting down with me and bringing the bus. Bus tour is well underway here in Georgia. You have less time to make your case to voters than any candidate in modern American history. The voters are really eager to hear what your plans are. If you are elected, what would you do on day one in the White House?HARRIS: Well, there are a number of things. I will tell you first and foremost one of my highest priorities is to do what we can to support and strengthen the middle class. When I look at the aspirations, the goals, the ambitions of the American people, I think that people are ready for a new way forward in a way that generations of Americans have been fueled by 바카라 게임 웹사이트” by hope and by optimism.I think sadly in the last decade, we have had in the former president someone who has really been pushing an agenda and an environment that is about diminishing the character and the strength of who we are as Americans 바카라 게임 웹사이트” really dividing our nation. And I think people are ready to turn the page on that. Video below: See some of CNN's interview with Harris and WalzBASH: So what would you do day one?HARRIS: Day one, it바카라 게임 웹사이트™s gonna be about one, implementing my plan for what I call an opportunity economy. I바카라 게임 웹사이트™ve already laid out a number of proposals in that regard, which include what we바카라 게임 웹사이트™re gonna do to bring down the cost of everyday goods, what we바카라 게임 웹사이트™re gonna do to invest in America바카라 게임 웹사이트™s small businesses, what we바카라 게임 웹사이트™re gonna do to invest in families.For example, extending the child tax credit to $6,000 for families for the first year of their child바카라 게임 웹사이트™s life to help them buy a car seat, to help them buy baby clothes, a crib. There바카라 게임 웹사이트™s the work that we바카라 게임 웹사이트™re gonna do that is about investing in the American family around affordable housing, a big issue in our country right now. So there are a number of things on day one.BASH: What about you?WALZ: Well, I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m excited about this agenda, too. As I said, the idea of inspiring America to what can be. And I think many of these things that the vice president바카라 게임 웹사이트™s proposing are 바카라 게임 웹사이트” are 바카라 게임 웹사이트” are things that we share in values. And the child tax credit바카라 게임 웹사이트™s one we know that reduces childhood poverty by a third. We did it in Minnesota. To have a federal partner in this 바카라 게임 웹사이트”unbelievable, I think, in the impact that we can makeBASH: You talk about 바카라 게임 웹사이트” you call it the opportunity economy. You are well aware that right now many Americans are struggling. There바카라 게임 웹사이트™s a crisis of affordability. One of your campaign themes is, 바카라 게임 웹사이트œWe바카라 게임 웹사이트™re not going back.바카라 게임 웹사이트 But I wonder what you say to voters who do want to go back when it comes to the economy specifically because their groceries were less expensive, housing was more affordable when Donald Trump was president.HARRIS: Well, let바카라 게임 웹사이트™s start with the fact that when Joe Biden and I came in office during the height of a pandemic, we saw over 10 million jobs were lost. People 바카라 게임 웹사이트” I mean, literally we are all tracking the numbers. Hundreds of people a day were dying because of COVID. The economy had crashed.In large part, all of that because of mismanagement by Donald Trump of that crisis. When we came in, our highest priority was to do what we could to rescue America. And today, we know that we have inflation at under 3%. A lot of our policies have led to the reality that America recovered faster than any wealthy nation around the world.But you are right. Prices in particular for groceries are still too high. The American people know it. I know it. Which is why my agenda includes what we need to do to bring down the price of groceries. For example, dealing with an issue like price gouging.What we need to do to extend the child tax credit to help young families be able to take care of their children in their most formative years. What we need to do to bring down the cost of housing. My proposal includes what would be a tax credit of $25,000 for first-time home buyers so they can just have enough to put a down payment on a home, which is part of the American dream and their aspiration, but do it in a way that allows them to actually get on the path to achieving that goal and that dream.BASH: So you have been vice president for three and a half years. The steps that you바카라 게임 웹사이트™re talking about now, why haven바카라 게임 웹사이트™t you done them already?HARRIS: Well, first of all, we had to recover as an economy, and we have done that. I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m very proud of the work that we have done that has brought inflation down to less than 3%, the work that we have done to cap the cost of insulin at $35 a month for seniors. Donald Trump said he was gonna do a number of things, including allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices. Never happened. We did it.So now, and I 바카라 게임 웹사이트” as I travel in the state of Georgia and around our country, the number of seniors that have benefited, I바카라 게임 웹사이트™ve met 바카라 게임 웹사이트” I was in Nevada recently. A grandmother who showed me her receipts. And before we capped the cost of insulin for seniors at $35 a month she was paying hundreds of dollars, up to thousands of dollars a month for her insulin. She바카라 게임 웹사이트™s not doing that any longer.BASH: So you maintain Bidenomics is a success.HARRIS: I maintain that when we do the work of bringing down prescription medication for the American people, including capping the cost 바카라 게임 웹사이트” of the annual cost of prescription medication for seniors at $2,000; when we do what we did in the first year of being in office to extend the child tax credit so that we cut child poverty in America by over 50%; when we do what we have done to invest in the American people and bringing manufacturing back to the United States so that we created over 800,000 new manufacturing jobs, bringing business back to America; what we have done to improve the supply chain so we바카라 게임 웹사이트™re not relying on foreign governments to supply American families with their basic needs, I바카라 게임 웹사이트™ll say that that바카라 게임 웹사이트™s good work. There바카라 게임 웹사이트™s more to do, but that바카라 게임 웹사이트™s good work.BASH: I want to get some clarity on where you stand on some key policy issues. Energy is a big one. In 바카라 게임 웹사이트” when you were in Congress, you supported the Green New Deal. And in 2019 you said, quote, 바카라 게임 웹사이트œThere is no question I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m in favor of banning fracking.바카라 게임 웹사이트 Fracking, as you know, is a pretty big issue, particularly in your must-win state of Pennsylvania.HARRIS: Sure.BASH: Do you still want to ban fracking?HARRIS: No, and I made that clear on the debate stage in 2020, that I would not ban fracking. As vice president, I did not ban fracking. As president, I will not ban fracking.BASH: In 2019, I believe in a town hall you said 바카라 게임 웹사이트” you were asked, 바카라 게임 웹사이트œWould you commit to implementing a federal ban on fracking on your first day in office?바카라 게임 웹사이트 and you said, 바카라 게임 웹사이트œThere바카라 게임 웹사이트™s no question I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m in favor of banning fracking. So yes.바카라 게임 웹사이트 So it changed in 바카라 게임 웹사이트” in that campaign?HARRIS: In 2020 I made very clear where I stand. We are in 2024, and I have not changed that position, nor will I going forward. I kept my word, and I will keep my word.BASH: What made you change that position at the time?HARRIS: Well, let바카라 게임 웹사이트™s be clear. My values have not changed. I believe it is very important that we take seriously what we must do to guard against what is a clear crisis in terms of the climate. And to do that, we can do what we have accomplished thus far.The Inflation Reduction Act, what we have done to invest by my calculation over t바카라 게임 웹사이트” probably a trillion dollars over the next ten years investing in a clean energy economy. What we바카라 게임 웹사이트™ve already done creating over 300,000 new clean energy jobs. That tells me from my experience as vice president we can do it without banning fracking. In fact, Dana 바카라 게임 웹사이트” Dana, excuse me 바카라 게임 웹사이트” I cast the tie-breaking vote that actually increased leases for fracking as vice president. So I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m very clear about where I stand.BASH: And was there some policy or scientific data that you saw that you said, 바카라 게임 웹사이트œOh, okay. I get it now?"HARRIS: What I have seen is that we can 바카라 게임 웹사이트” we can grow and we can increase a thriving clean energy economy without banning fracking.BASH: Okay. Another issue, big one, is immigration. As vice president, you were tasked with addressing the root causes of migration in southern countries and 바카라 게임 웹사이트”HARRIS: Northern part of Central America.BASH: The northern parts of 바카라 게임 웹사이트”HARRIS: Yeah.BASH: 바카라 게임 웹사이트” of 바카라 게임 웹사이트” of Central America that deals with, that affects the southern border of the US. During the Biden-Harris administration, there were record numbers of illegal border crossings. Why did the Biden-Harris administration wait three and a half years to implement sweeping asylum restrictions?HARRIS: Well, first of all, the root causes work that I did as vice president, that I was asked to do by the president has actually resulted in a number of benefits, including historic investments by American businesses in that region. The number of immigrants coming from that region has actually reduced since we바카라 게임 웹사이트™ve began that work.But I will say this: That Joe Biden and I and our administration worked with members of the United States Congress on an immigration issue that is very significant to the American people and to our security, which is the border. And through bipartisan work, including some of the most conservative members of the United States Congress, a bill was crafted which we supported, which I support.And Donald Trump got word of this bill that would바카라 게임 웹사이트™ve 바카라 게임 웹사이트” that contributed to securing our border. And because he believes that it would not have helped him politically, he told his folks in Congress, 바카라 게임 웹사이트œDon바카라 게임 웹사이트™t put it forward.바카라 게임 웹사이트 He killed the bill: a border security bill that would바카라 게임 웹사이트™ve put 1,500 more agents on the border. And let me tell you something. The Border Patrol endorsed the bill. And I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m sure 바카라 게임 웹사이트”(OVERTALK)HARRIS: 바카라 게임 웹사이트” and I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m sure in large part because they knew they were working around the clock and 1,500 more agents would help them. That bill would have allowed us to increase seizures of fentanyl. Ask any community in America that has been devastated by fentanyl what passing that bill would have done to address their concern and a pain they바카라 게임 웹사이트™ve experienced 바카라 게임 웹사이트”BASH: So you would 바카라 게임 웹사이트” so you would push that legislation again? I just want to ask ab바카라 게임 웹사이트”HARRIS: Not only push it. I will make sure that it comes to my desk and I would sign it.BASH: Just one other question about something that you said in 2019 when you first ran. There was a debate. You raised your hand when asked whether or not the border should be decriminalized. Do you still believe that?HARRIS: I believe there should be consequence. We have laws that have to be followed and enforced that address and deal with people who cross our border illegally. And there should be consequence. And let바카라 게임 웹사이트™s be clear, in this race, I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m the only person who has prosecuted transnational criminal organizations who traffic in guns, drugs, and human beings. I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m the only person in this race who actually served a border state as attorney general to enforce our laws. And I would enforce our laws as president going forward. I recognize the problem.BASH: Generally speaking, how should voters look at some of the changes that you바카라 게임 웹사이트™ve made 바카라 게임 웹사이트” that you explained some of here 바카라 게임 웹사이트” in your policy? Is it because you have more experience now and you바카라 게임 웹사이트™ve learned more about the information? Is it because you바카라 게임 웹사이트™re running for president in a Democratic primary? And should they feel comfortable and confident that what you바카라 게임 웹사이트™re saying now is gonna be your policy moving forward?HARRIS: Dana, I think the 바카라 게임 웹사이트” the 바카라 게임 웹사이트” the most important and most significant aspect of my policy perspective and decisions is my values have not changed. You mentioned the Green New Deal. I have always believed and I have worked on it, that the climate crisis is real, that it is an urgent matter to which we should apply metrics that include holding ourselves to deadlines around time.We did that with the Inflation Reduction Act. We have set goals for the United States of America and by extension the globe around when we should meet certain standards for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, as an example. That value has not changed. My value around what we need to do to secure our border, that value has not changed. I spent two terms as the attorney general of California prosecuting transnational criminal organizations, violations of American laws regarding the passage, illegal passage of guns, drugs, and human beings across our border. My values did not change.So that is the reality of it, and four years of being vice president, I바카라 게임 웹사이트™ll tell you, one of the 바카라 게임 웹사이트” the 바카라 게임 웹사이트” the aspects to your point is traveling the country extensively. I mean, I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m here in Georgia, I think somebody told me 17 times since I바카라 게임 웹사이트™ve been vice president in Georgia alone. I believe it is important to build consensus, and it is important to 바카라 게임 웹사이트” to 바카라 게임 웹사이트” to find a common place of understanding of where we can actually solve problems.BASH: On that note, you had a lot of Republican speakers at the convention. Will you appoint a Republican to your Cabinet?HARRIS: Yes, I would.BASH: Any one in mind바카라 게임 웹사이트”HARRIS: Yes, I would. No, no one in particular in mind. I got 바카라 게임 웹사이트” we got 68 days to go with this election, so I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m not puttin바카라 게임 웹사이트™ the cart before the horse. But I would. I think 바카라 게임 웹사이트” I think it바카라 게임 웹사이트™s really important. I 바카라 게임 웹사이트” I have spent my career inviting diversity of opinion. I think it바카라 게임 웹사이트™s important to have people at the table when some of the most important decisions are being made that have different views, different experiences. And I think it would be to the benefit of the American public to have a member of my Cabinet who is a Republican.BASH: Speaking of Republicans, I want to ask you about your opponent, Donald Trump. I was a little bit surprised, people might be surprised to hear that you have never interacted with him, met him face to face. That바카라 게임 웹사이트™s gonna change soon, but what I want to ask you about is what he said last month. He suggested that you happened to turn Black recently for political purposes, questioning a core part of your identity.HARRIS: Yeah.BASH: Any바카라 게임 웹사이트”HARRIS: Same old, tired playbook. Next question, please. (LAUGH)BASH: That바카라 게임 웹사이트™s it?HARRIS: That바카라 게임 웹사이트™s it.BASH: OK. Let바카라 게임 웹사이트™s talk about some foreign policy issues that would be on your plate if you become commander in chief. President Biden has tried unsuccessfully to end the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. He바카라 게임 웹사이트™s been doing it for months and months, along with you. Would you do anything differently? For example, would you withhold some US weapons shipments to Israel? That바카라 게임 웹사이트™s what a lot of people on the progressive left want you to do.HARRIS: Let me be very clear. I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m unequivocal and 바카라 게임 웹사이트” and unwavering in my commitment to Israel바카라 게임 웹사이트™s defense and its ability to defend itself. And that바카라 게임 웹사이트™s not gonna change. But let바카라 게임 웹사이트™s take a step back. October 7, 1,200 people are massacred, many young people who are simply attending a musical festival. Women were horribly raped. As I said then, I say today, Israel had a right 바카라 게임 웹사이트” has a right to defend itself. We would. And how it does so matters. Far too many innocent Palestinians have been killed. And we have got to get a deal done. We 바카라 게임 웹사이트” we were in Doha. We have to get a deal done. This war must end바카라 게임 웹사이트”BASH: And in the meantime바카라 게임 웹사이트”HARRIS: And we must get a deal that is about getting the hostages out. I바카라 게임 웹사이트™ve met with the families of the American hostages. Let바카라 게임 웹사이트™s get the hostages out. Let바카라 게임 웹사이트™s get the ceasefire done.BASH: But no change in policy in terms of arms and 바카라 게임 웹사이트” and so forth?HARRIS: No. I 바카라 게임 웹사이트” we have to get a deal done. Dan 바카라 게임 웹사이트” Dana, we have to get a deal done. When you look at the significance of this to the families, to the people who are living in that region 바카라 게임 웹사이트” it 바카라 게임 웹사이트” a deal is not only the right thing to do to end this war but will unlock so much of what must happen next.I remain committed since I바카라 게임 웹사이트™ve been on October 8 to what we must do to work toward a two-state solution where Israel is secure and in equal measure the Paletin 바카라 게임 웹사이트” the Palestinians have security and self-determination and 바카라 게임 웹사이트” and dignity.BASH: Governor Walz, the country is just starting to get to know you. I want to ask you a question about how you바카라 게임 웹사이트™ve described your service in the National Guard.WALZ: Yeah.BASH: You said that you carried weapons in war, but you have never deployed actually in a war zone. A campaign official said that you misspoke. Did you?WALZ: Well, first of all, I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m incredibly proud. I바카라 게임 웹사이트™ve done 24 years of wearin' uniform of this country. Equally proud of my service in a public school classroom, whether it바카라 게임 웹사이트™s Congress or 바카라 게임 웹사이트” or the governor. My record speaks for itself, but I think people are coming to get to know me. I 바카라 게임 웹사이트” I speak like they do. I speak candidly. I wear my emotions on my sleeves, and I speak especially passionately about 바카라 게임 웹사이트” about our children being shot in schools and around 바카라 게임 웹사이트” around guns. So I think people know me. They know who I am. They know where 바카라 게임 웹사이트” where my heart is, and again, my record has been out there for over 40 years to 바카라 게임 웹사이트” to speak for itself.BASH: And the 바카라 게임 웹사이트” the idea that you said that you were in war, did you misspeak, as the campaign has said?WALZ: Yeah, I said 바카라 게임 웹사이트” we were talking about in this case, this was after a school shooting, the ideas of carrying these weapons of war. And my wife the English teacher told me my grammar바카라 게임 웹사이트™s not always correct. But again, if it바카라 게임 웹사이트™s not this, it바카라 게임 웹사이트™s an attack on my children for showing love for me, or it바카라 게임 웹사이트™s an attack on my dog. I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m not gonna do that, and the one thing I바카라 게임 웹사이트™ll never do is I바카라 게임 웹사이트™ll never demean another member바카라 게임 웹사이트™s service in any way. I never have and I never will.BASH: And just one other question, because, again, this is all new. This was not 바카라 게임 웹사이트” however many days ago, this was not on either of your bingo cards, especially yours. You had to clarify that you had said that you and your wife used IVF, but it turned out you used a different kind of fertility in order to have children. And then when you ran for Congress in 2006, your campaign repeatedly made false statements about a 1995 arrest for drunk and reckless driving. What do you say to voters who aren바카라 게임 웹사이트™t sure whether they can take you at your word?WALZ: Well, I바카라 게임 웹사이트™ve been very public. I think they can see 바카라 게임 웹사이트” my students come out 바카라 게임 웹사이트” former folks I바카라 게임 웹사이트™ve served with, and they 바카라 게임 웹사이트” and they do, they vouch for me. I certainly own my mistakes when I make 바카라 게임 웹사이트˜em. The one thing I바카라 게임 웹사이트™ll tell you is I wished in this country we wouldn바카라 게임 웹사이트™t have to do this. I spoke about our infertility issues 바카라 게임 웹사이트˜cause it바카라 게임 웹사이트™s hell, and families know this. And I 바카라 게임 웹사이트” I spoke about the treatments that were available to us that 바카라 게임 웹사이트” that had those beautiful children there. That바카라 게임 웹사이트™s quite a contrast in folks that are trying to 바카라 게임 웹사이트” to take those rights away from us.And so I 바카라 게임 웹사이트” I think people know who I am. They know that record. They바카라 게임 웹사이트™ve seen that I바카라 게임 웹사이트™ve taught thousands of students. I바카라 게임 웹사이트™ve been out there. And I 바카라 게임 웹사이트” I won바카라 게임 웹사이트™t apologize for speaking passionately, whether it바카라 게임 웹사이트™s guns in schools or protection of reproductive rights. The contrast could not be clearer between what we바카라 게임 웹사이트™re running against. The vice president바카라 게임 웹사이트™s position on this has been clear. And I think most Americans get it, if you바카라 게임 웹사이트™ve been through that. I don바카라 게임 웹사이트™t think they바카라 게임 웹사이트™re cutting hairs on IVF or IUI. I think what they바카라 게임 웹사이트™re cutting hairs on is an abortion ban and the ability to be able to deny families the chance to have a beautiful child.BASH: Vice President Harris, you were a very staunch defender of President Biden바카라 게임 웹사이트™s capacity to serve another four years right after the debate. You insisted that President Biden is extraordinarily strong. Given where we are now, do you have any regrets about what you told the American people?HARRIS: No, not at all. Not at all. I have served with President Biden for almost four years now. And I바카라 게임 웹사이트™ll tell ya it바카라 게임 웹사이트™s one of the greatest honors of my career, truly. He cares so deeply about the American people. He is so smart and 바카라 게임 웹사이트” and loyal to the American people. And I have spent hours upon hours with him, be it in the Oval Office or the Situation Room. He has the intelligence, the commitment, and the judgment and disposition that I think the American people rightly deserve in their president.By contrast, the former president has none of that. And so 바카라 게임 웹사이트” one, I 바카라 게임 웹사이트” I 바카라 게임 웹사이트” I am so proud to have served as vice president to Joe Biden. And, two, I am so proud to be running with Tim Walz for president of the United States and to bring America what I believe the American people deserve, which is a new way forward, and turn the page on the last decade of what I believe has been contrary to where the spirit of our country really lies.BASH: With the last decade, of course, the last three and a half years has been part of your administration.HARRIS: I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m talking about an era that started about a decade ago where there is some suggestion, warped I believe it to be, that the measure of the strength of a leader is based on you beat down instead of where I believe most Americans are, which is to believe that the true measure of the strength of a leader is based on who you lift up. That바카라 게임 웹사이트™s what바카라 게임 웹사이트™s at stake as much as any other detail that we could discuss in this election.BASH: Because we haven바카라 게임 웹사이트™t had a chance to 바카라 게임 웹사이트” to talk, I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m just curious, staying on President Biden, when he called you and said he was pulling outta the race, what was that like? And did he offer to endorse you right away or did you ask for it?HARRIS: It was 바카라 게임 웹사이트” it was a Sunday, so, here, I바카라 게임 웹사이트™ll 바카라 게임 웹사이트” I바카라 게임 웹사이트™ll give you a little too much information. (Laughter)BASH: Go for it. There바카라 게임 웹사이트™s no such thing, Madam Vice President.HARRIS: My family was staying with us. And 바카라 게임 웹사이트” including my baby nieces. And we had just had pancakes and, you know, 바카라 게임 웹사이트œAuntie, can I have more bacon?바카라 게임 웹사이트 바카라 게임 웹사이트œYes, I바카라 게임 웹사이트™ll make you more bacon.바카라 게임 웹사이트 And then we were gonna sit 바카라 게임 웹사이트” we were sitting down to 바카라 게임 웹사이트” to do a puzzle. (LAUGH) And the phone rang. And it was Joe Biden. And 바카라 게임 웹사이트” and he told me what he had decided to do. And I asked him, 바카라 게임 웹사이트œAre you sure?바카라 게임 웹사이트 And he said, 바카라 게임 웹사이트œYes.바카라 게임 웹사이트 And 바카라 게임 웹사이트” and that바카라 게임 웹사이트™s how I learned about it.BASH: And what about the endorsement? Did you ask for it?HARRIS: He was very clear that he was gonna support me.BASH: So when he called to tell you, he said, 바카라 게임 웹사이트œI바카라 게임 웹사이트™m pulling outta the race and I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m gonna support you?바카라 게임 웹사이트HARRIS: Well, my first thought was not about me to be honest with you. My first thought was about him to be honest. I think history is gonna show a number of things about Joe Biden바카라 게임 웹사이트™s presidency. I think history is gonna show that in so many ways it was transformative, be it on what we have accomplished around finally investing in America바카라 게임 웹사이트™s infrastructure, investing in new economics, in new industries, what we have done to bring our allies back together, and have confidence in who we are as America, and grow that alliance, what we have done to stand true to our principles including the 바카라 게임 웹사이트” the 바카라 게임 웹사이트” one of the most important international rules and norms, which is the importance of sovereignty and territorial integrity.And I think history is gonna show not only has Joe Biden led an administration that has achieved those extraordinary successes, but the character of the man is one that he has been in his life and career, including as a president, quite selfless and puts the American people first.BASH: I just have to ask you both about two standout moments, aside of course from the addresses that you both gave, but standout moments that were perhaps unexpected during the convention. You mentioned one of them, governor, a moment that you shared, that the world shared with your son, Gus. You were speaking. The camera caught him so incredibly proud of you, so emotional, saying, 바카라 게임 웹사이트œThat바카라 게임 웹사이트™s my dad.바카라 게임 웹사이트WALZ: Yeah. I 바카라 게임 웹사이트” I don바카라 게임 웹사이트™t know as a father I could바카라 게임 웹사이트™ve ever imagined that. I 바카라 게임 웹사이트” I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m grateful for so many reasons to be on this ticket. But that moment 바카라 게임 웹사이트” to understand what was really important, to 바카라 게임 웹사이트” to have my son feel a sense of pride in me, that I was trying to do the right thing. And it was, you know, you try and protect your kids. You know it brings 바카라 게임 웹사이트” it brings notoriety in things. But it was just such a visceral, emotional moment that I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m 바카라 게임 웹사이트” I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m just 바카라 게임 웹사이트” I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m grateful I got to experience it. And I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m 바카라 게임 웹사이트” I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m so proud of him.I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m proud of him. I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m proud of Hope. I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m proud of Gwen. She바카라 게임 웹사이트™s a wonderful mother. And these are great kids. And I think the one thing is, talking about the era we바카라 게임 웹사이트™re in, is our politics can be better. It can be different. We can 바카라 게임 웹사이트” we can show some of these things. And we can have families involved in this. And I 바카라 게임 웹사이트” I hope that there was 바카라 게임 웹사이트” I hope people felt that out there. And I hope they hugged their kids a little tighter, because you just never know. And life can be kinda hard.BASH: And last question, Madam Vice President, the photograph that has gone viral. You were speaking. One of your grand nieces that you were just talking about was watching you accept the nomination. You didn바카라 게임 웹사이트™t explicitly talk about gender or race in your speech. But it obviously means a lot to a lot of people. And that viral picture really says it. What does it mean to you?HARRIS: You know, I 바카라 게임 웹사이트” listen, I am running because I believe that I am the best person to do this job at this moment for all Americans, regardless of race and gender. But I did see that photograph. And I was deeply touched by it. And, you바카라 게임 웹사이트™re right, she바카라 게임 웹사이트™s 바카라 게임 웹사이트” it바카라 게임 웹사이트™s the back of her head, and her two little braids, and 바카라 게임 웹사이트” and then I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m in the front of the photograph obviously speaking. It바카라 게임 웹사이트™s very humbling. It바카라 게임 웹사이트™s very humbling in many ways.BASH: Did she talk to you about it afterwards?HARRIS: Oh, she had a lot to talk (laughter) about. She had a lot.

Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz sat down exclusively with CNN Thursday for her first interview since ascending to the top of the Democratic ticket.

Just days after accepting the nomination at the Democratic National Convention, Harris answered wide-ranging questions from CNN바카라 게임 웹사이트™s Dana Bash, including on her economic and border policies, attacks on her race from former President Donald Trump and the call from President Joe Biden to tell her he was withdrawing from the race.

BASH: Madam Vice President, Governor Walz, thank you so much for sitting down with me and bringing the bus. Bus tour is well underway here in Georgia. You have less time to make your case to voters than any candidate in modern American history. The voters are really eager to hear what your plans are. If you are elected, what would you do on day one in the White House?

HARRIS: Well, there are a number of things. I will tell you first and foremost one of my highest priorities is to do what we can to support and strengthen the middle class. When I look at the aspirations, the goals, the ambitions of the American people, I think that people are ready for a new way forward in a way that generations of Americans have been fueled by 바카라 게임 웹사이트” by hope and by optimism.

I think sadly in the last decade, we have had in the former president someone who has really been pushing an agenda and an environment that is about diminishing the character and the strength of who we are as Americans 바카라 게임 웹사이트” really dividing our nation. And I think people are ready to turn the page on that.

BASH: So what would you do day one?

HARRIS: Day one, it바카라 게임 웹사이트™s gonna be about one, implementing my plan for what I call an opportunity economy. I바카라 게임 웹사이트™ve already laid out a number of proposals in that regard, which include what we바카라 게임 웹사이트™re gonna do to bring down the cost of everyday goods, what we바카라 게임 웹사이트™re gonna do to invest in America바카라 게임 웹사이트™s small businesses, what we바카라 게임 웹사이트™re gonna do to invest in families.

For example, extending the child tax credit to $6,000 for families for the first year of their child바카라 게임 웹사이트™s life to help them buy a car seat, to help them buy baby clothes, a crib. There바카라 게임 웹사이트™s the work that we바카라 게임 웹사이트™re gonna do that is about investing in the American family around affordable housing, a big issue in our country right now. So there are a number of things on day one.

BASH: What about you?

WALZ: Well, I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m excited about this agenda, too. As I said, the idea of inspiring America to what can be. And I think many of these things that the vice president바카라 게임 웹사이트™s proposing are 바카라 게임 웹사이트” are 바카라 게임 웹사이트” are things that we share in values. And the child tax credit바카라 게임 웹사이트™s one we know that reduces childhood poverty by a third. We did it in Minnesota. To have a federal partner in this 바카라 게임 웹사이트”unbelievable, I think, in the impact that we can make

BASH: You talk about 바카라 게임 웹사이트” you call it the opportunity economy. You are well aware that right now many Americans are struggling. There바카라 게임 웹사이트™s a crisis of affordability. One of your campaign themes is, 바카라 게임 웹사이트œWe바카라 게임 웹사이트™re not going back.바카라 게임 웹사이트 But I wonder what you say to voters who do want to go back when it comes to the economy specifically because their groceries were less expensive, housing was more affordable when Donald Trump was president.

HARRIS: Well, let바카라 게임 웹사이트™s start with the fact that when Joe Biden and I came in office during the height of a pandemic, we saw over 10 million jobs were lost. People 바카라 게임 웹사이트” I mean, literally we are all tracking the numbers. Hundreds of people a day were dying because of COVID. The economy had crashed.

In large part, all of that because of mismanagement by Donald Trump of that crisis. When we came in, our highest priority was to do what we could to rescue America. And today, we know that we have inflation at under 3%. A lot of our policies have led to the reality that America recovered faster than any wealthy nation around the world.

But you are right. Prices in particular for groceries are still too high. The American people know it. I know it. Which is why my agenda includes what we need to do to bring down the price of groceries. For example, dealing with an issue like price gouging.

What we need to do to extend the child tax credit to help young families be able to take care of their children in their most formative years. What we need to do to bring down the cost of housing. My proposal includes what would be a tax credit of $25,000 for first-time home buyers so they can just have enough to put a down payment on a home, which is part of the American dream and their aspiration, but do it in a way that allows them to actually get on the path to achieving that goal and that dream.

BASH: So you have been vice president for three and a half years. The steps that you바카라 게임 웹사이트™re talking about now, why haven바카라 게임 웹사이트™t you done them already?

HARRIS: Well, first of all, we had to recover as an economy, and we have done that. I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m very proud of the work that we have done that has brought inflation down to less than 3%, the work that we have done to cap the cost of insulin at $35 a month for seniors. Donald Trump said he was gonna do a number of things, including allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices. Never happened. We did it.

So now, and I 바카라 게임 웹사이트” as I travel in the state of Georgia and around our country, the number of seniors that have benefited, I바카라 게임 웹사이트™ve met 바카라 게임 웹사이트” I was in Nevada recently. A grandmother who showed me her receipts. And before we capped the cost of insulin for seniors at $35 a month she was paying hundreds of dollars, up to thousands of dollars a month for her insulin. She바카라 게임 웹사이트™s not doing that any longer.

BASH: So you maintain Bidenomics is a success.

HARRIS: I maintain that when we do the work of bringing down prescription medication for the American people, including capping the cost 바카라 게임 웹사이트” of the annual cost of prescription medication for seniors at $2,000; when we do what we did in the first year of being in office to extend the child tax credit so that we cut child poverty in America by over 50%; when we do what we have done to invest in the American people and bringing manufacturing back to the United States so that we created over 800,000 new manufacturing jobs, bringing business back to America; what we have done to improve the supply chain so we바카라 게임 웹사이트™re not relying on foreign governments to supply American families with their basic needs, I바카라 게임 웹사이트™ll say that that바카라 게임 웹사이트™s good work. There바카라 게임 웹사이트™s more to do, but that바카라 게임 웹사이트™s good work.

BASH: I want to get some clarity on where you stand on some key policy issues. Energy is a big one. In 바카라 게임 웹사이트” when you were in Congress, you supported the Green New Deal. And in 2019 you said, quote, 바카라 게임 웹사이트œThere is no question I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m in favor of banning fracking.바카라 게임 웹사이트 Fracking, as you know, is a pretty big issue, particularly in your must-win state of Pennsylvania.

HARRIS: Sure.

BASH: Do you still want to ban fracking?

HARRIS: No, and I made that clear on the debate stage in 2020, that I would not ban fracking. As vice president, I did not ban fracking. As president, I will not ban fracking.

BASH: In 2019, I believe in a town hall you said 바카라 게임 웹사이트” you were asked, 바카라 게임 웹사이트œWould you commit to implementing a federal ban on fracking on your first day in office?바카라 게임 웹사이트 and you said, 바카라 게임 웹사이트œThere바카라 게임 웹사이트™s no question I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m in favor of banning fracking. So yes.바카라 게임 웹사이트 So it changed in 바카라 게임 웹사이트” in that campaign?

HARRIS: In 2020 I made very clear where I stand. We are in 2024, and I have not changed that position, nor will I going forward. I kept my word, and I will keep my word.

BASH: What made you change that position at the time?

HARRIS: Well, let바카라 게임 웹사이트™s be clear. My values have not changed. I believe it is very important that we take seriously what we must do to guard against what is a clear crisis in terms of the climate. And to do that, we can do what we have accomplished thus far.

The Inflation Reduction Act, what we have done to invest by my calculation over t바카라 게임 웹사이트” probably a trillion dollars over the next ten years investing in a clean energy economy. What we바카라 게임 웹사이트™ve already done creating over 300,000 new clean energy jobs. That tells me from my experience as vice president we can do it without banning fracking. In fact, Dana 바카라 게임 웹사이트” Dana, excuse me 바카라 게임 웹사이트” I cast the tie-breaking vote that actually increased leases for fracking as vice president. So I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m very clear about where I stand.

BASH: And was there some policy or scientific data that you saw that you said, 바카라 게임 웹사이트œOh, okay. I get it now?"

HARRIS: What I have seen is that we can 바카라 게임 웹사이트” we can grow and we can increase a thriving clean energy economy without banning fracking.

BASH: Okay. Another issue, big one, is immigration. As vice president, you were tasked with addressing the root causes of migration in southern countries and 바카라 게임 웹사이트”

HARRIS: Northern part of Central America.

BASH: The northern parts of 바카라 게임 웹사이트”

HARRIS: Yeah.

BASH: 바카라 게임 웹사이트” of 바카라 게임 웹사이트” of Central America that deals with, that affects the southern border of the US. During the Biden-Harris administration, there were record numbers of illegal border crossings. Why did the Biden-Harris administration wait three and a half years to implement sweeping asylum restrictions?

HARRIS: Well, first of all, the root causes work that I did as vice president, that I was asked to do by the president has actually resulted in a number of benefits, including historic investments by American businesses in that region. The number of immigrants coming from that region has actually reduced since we바카라 게임 웹사이트™ve began that work.

But I will say this: That Joe Biden and I and our administration worked with members of the United States Congress on an immigration issue that is very significant to the American people and to our security, which is the border. And through bipartisan work, including some of the most conservative members of the United States Congress, a bill was crafted which we supported, which I support.

And Donald Trump got word of this bill that would바카라 게임 웹사이트™ve 바카라 게임 웹사이트” that contributed to securing our border. And because he believes that it would not have helped him politically, he told his folks in Congress, 바카라 게임 웹사이트œDon바카라 게임 웹사이트™t put it forward.바카라 게임 웹사이트 He killed the bill: a border security bill that would바카라 게임 웹사이트™ve put 1,500 more agents on the border. And let me tell you something. The Border Patrol endorsed the bill. And I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m sure 바카라 게임 웹사이트”

(OVERTALK)

HARRIS: 바카라 게임 웹사이트” and I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m sure in large part because they knew they were working around the clock and 1,500 more agents would help them. That bill would have allowed us to increase seizures of fentanyl. Ask any community in America that has been devastated by fentanyl what passing that bill would have done to address their concern and a pain they바카라 게임 웹사이트™ve experienced 바카라 게임 웹사이트”

BASH: So you would 바카라 게임 웹사이트” so you would push that legislation again? I just want to ask ab바카라 게임 웹사이트”

HARRIS: Not only push it. I will make sure that it comes to my desk and I would sign it.

BASH: Just one other question about something that you said in 2019 when you first ran. There was a debate. You raised your hand when asked whether or not the border should be decriminalized. Do you still believe that?

HARRIS: I believe there should be consequence. We have laws that have to be followed and enforced that address and deal with people who cross our border illegally. And there should be consequence. And let바카라 게임 웹사이트™s be clear, in this race, I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m the only person who has prosecuted transnational criminal organizations who traffic in guns, drugs, and human beings. I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m the only person in this race who actually served a border state as attorney general to enforce our laws. And I would enforce our laws as president going forward. I recognize the problem.

BASH: Generally speaking, how should voters look at some of the changes that you바카라 게임 웹사이트™ve made 바카라 게임 웹사이트” that you explained some of here 바카라 게임 웹사이트” in your policy? Is it because you have more experience now and you바카라 게임 웹사이트™ve learned more about the information? Is it because you바카라 게임 웹사이트™re running for president in a Democratic primary? And should they feel comfortable and confident that what you바카라 게임 웹사이트™re saying now is gonna be your policy moving forward?

HARRIS: Dana, I think the 바카라 게임 웹사이트” the 바카라 게임 웹사이트” the most important and most significant aspect of my policy perspective and decisions is my values have not changed. You mentioned the Green New Deal. I have always believed and I have worked on it, that the climate crisis is real, that it is an urgent matter to which we should apply metrics that include holding ourselves to deadlines around time.

We did that with the Inflation Reduction Act. We have set goals for the United States of America and by extension the globe around when we should meet certain standards for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, as an example. That value has not changed. My value around what we need to do to secure our border, that value has not changed. I spent two terms as the attorney general of California prosecuting transnational criminal organizations, violations of American laws regarding the passage, illegal passage of guns, drugs, and human beings across our border. My values did not change.

So that is the reality of it, and four years of being vice president, I바카라 게임 웹사이트™ll tell you, one of the 바카라 게임 웹사이트” the 바카라 게임 웹사이트” the aspects to your point is traveling the country extensively. I mean, I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m here in Georgia, I think somebody told me 17 times since I바카라 게임 웹사이트™ve been vice president in Georgia alone. I believe it is important to build consensus, and it is important to 바카라 게임 웹사이트” to 바카라 게임 웹사이트” to find a common place of understanding of where we can actually solve problems.

BASH: On that note, you had a lot of Republican speakers at the convention. Will you appoint a Republican to your Cabinet?

HARRIS: Yes, I would.

BASH: Any one in mind바카라 게임 웹사이트”

HARRIS: Yes, I would. No, no one in particular in mind. I got 바카라 게임 웹사이트” we got 68 days to go with this election, so I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m not puttin바카라 게임 웹사이트™ the cart before the horse. But I would. I think 바카라 게임 웹사이트” I think it바카라 게임 웹사이트™s really important. I 바카라 게임 웹사이트” I have spent my career inviting diversity of opinion. I think it바카라 게임 웹사이트™s important to have people at the table when some of the most important decisions are being made that have different views, different experiences. And I think it would be to the benefit of the American public to have a member of my Cabinet who is a Republican.

BASH: Speaking of Republicans, I want to ask you about your opponent, Donald Trump. I was a little bit surprised, people might be surprised to hear that you have never interacted with him, met him face to face. That바카라 게임 웹사이트™s gonna change soon, but what I want to ask you about is what he said last month. He suggested that you happened to turn Black recently for political purposes, questioning a core part of your identity.

HARRIS: Yeah.

BASH: Any바카라 게임 웹사이트”

HARRIS: Same old, tired playbook. Next question, please. (LAUGH)

BASH: That바카라 게임 웹사이트™s it?

HARRIS: That바카라 게임 웹사이트™s it.

BASH: OK. Let바카라 게임 웹사이트™s talk about some foreign policy issues that would be on your plate if you become commander in chief. President Biden has tried unsuccessfully to end the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. He바카라 게임 웹사이트™s been doing it for months and months, along with you. Would you do anything differently? For example, would you withhold some US weapons shipments to Israel? That바카라 게임 웹사이트™s what a lot of people on the progressive left want you to do.

HARRIS: Let me be very clear. I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m unequivocal and 바카라 게임 웹사이트” and unwavering in my commitment to Israel바카라 게임 웹사이트™s defense and its ability to defend itself. And that바카라 게임 웹사이트™s not gonna change. But let바카라 게임 웹사이트™s take a step back. October 7, 1,200 people are massacred, many young people who are simply attending a musical festival. Women were horribly raped. As I said then, I say today, Israel had a right 바카라 게임 웹사이트” has a right to defend itself. We would. And how it does so matters. Far too many innocent Palestinians have been killed. And we have got to get a deal done. We 바카라 게임 웹사이트” we were in Doha. We have to get a deal done. This war must end바카라 게임 웹사이트”

BASH: And in the meantime바카라 게임 웹사이트”

HARRIS: And we must get a deal that is about getting the hostages out. I바카라 게임 웹사이트™ve met with the families of the American hostages. Let바카라 게임 웹사이트™s get the hostages out. Let바카라 게임 웹사이트™s get the ceasefire done.

BASH: But no change in policy in terms of arms and 바카라 게임 웹사이트” and so forth?

HARRIS: No. I 바카라 게임 웹사이트” we have to get a deal done. Dan 바카라 게임 웹사이트” Dana, we have to get a deal done. When you look at the significance of this to the families, to the people who are living in that region 바카라 게임 웹사이트” it 바카라 게임 웹사이트” a deal is not only the right thing to do to end this war but will unlock so much of what must happen next.

I remain committed since I바카라 게임 웹사이트™ve been on October 8 to what we must do to work toward a two-state solution where Israel is secure and in equal measure the Paletin 바카라 게임 웹사이트” the Palestinians have security and self-determination and 바카라 게임 웹사이트” and dignity.

BASH: Governor Walz, the country is just starting to get to know you. I want to ask you a question about how you바카라 게임 웹사이트™ve described your service in the National Guard.

WALZ: Yeah.

BASH: You said that you carried weapons in war, but you have never deployed actually in a war zone. A campaign official said that you misspoke. Did you?

WALZ: Well, first of all, I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m incredibly proud. I바카라 게임 웹사이트™ve done 24 years of wearin' uniform of this country. Equally proud of my service in a public school classroom, whether it바카라 게임 웹사이트™s Congress or 바카라 게임 웹사이트” or the governor. My record speaks for itself, but I think people are coming to get to know me. I 바카라 게임 웹사이트” I speak like they do. I speak candidly. I wear my emotions on my sleeves, and I speak especially passionately about 바카라 게임 웹사이트” about our children being shot in schools and around 바카라 게임 웹사이트” around guns. So I think people know me. They know who I am. They know where 바카라 게임 웹사이트” where my heart is, and again, my record has been out there for over 40 years to 바카라 게임 웹사이트” to speak for itself.

BASH: And the 바카라 게임 웹사이트” the idea that you said that you were in war, did you misspeak, as the campaign has said?

WALZ: Yeah, I said 바카라 게임 웹사이트” we were talking about in this case, this was after a school shooting, the ideas of carrying these weapons of war. And my wife the English teacher told me my grammar바카라 게임 웹사이트™s not always correct. But again, if it바카라 게임 웹사이트™s not this, it바카라 게임 웹사이트™s an attack on my children for showing love for me, or it바카라 게임 웹사이트™s an attack on my dog. I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m not gonna do that, and the one thing I바카라 게임 웹사이트™ll never do is I바카라 게임 웹사이트™ll never demean another member바카라 게임 웹사이트™s service in any way. I never have and I never will.

BASH: And just one other question, because, again, this is all new. This was not 바카라 게임 웹사이트” however many days ago, this was not on either of your bingo cards, especially yours. You had to clarify that you had said that you and your wife used IVF, but it turned out you used a different kind of fertility in order to have children. And then when you ran for Congress in 2006, your campaign repeatedly made false statements about a 1995 arrest for drunk and reckless driving. What do you say to voters who aren바카라 게임 웹사이트™t sure whether they can take you at your word?

WALZ: Well, I바카라 게임 웹사이트™ve been very public. I think they can see 바카라 게임 웹사이트” my students come out 바카라 게임 웹사이트” former folks I바카라 게임 웹사이트™ve served with, and they 바카라 게임 웹사이트” and they do, they vouch for me. I certainly own my mistakes when I make 바카라 게임 웹사이트˜em. The one thing I바카라 게임 웹사이트™ll tell you is I wished in this country we wouldn바카라 게임 웹사이트™t have to do this. I spoke about our infertility issues 바카라 게임 웹사이트˜cause it바카라 게임 웹사이트™s hell, and families know this. And I 바카라 게임 웹사이트” I spoke about the treatments that were available to us that 바카라 게임 웹사이트” that had those beautiful children there. That바카라 게임 웹사이트™s quite a contrast in folks that are trying to 바카라 게임 웹사이트” to take those rights away from us.

And so I 바카라 게임 웹사이트” I think people know who I am. They know that record. They바카라 게임 웹사이트™ve seen that I바카라 게임 웹사이트™ve taught thousands of students. I바카라 게임 웹사이트™ve been out there. And I 바카라 게임 웹사이트” I won바카라 게임 웹사이트™t apologize for speaking passionately, whether it바카라 게임 웹사이트™s guns in schools or protection of reproductive rights. The contrast could not be clearer between what we바카라 게임 웹사이트™re running against. The vice president바카라 게임 웹사이트™s position on this has been clear. And I think most Americans get it, if you바카라 게임 웹사이트™ve been through that. I don바카라 게임 웹사이트™t think they바카라 게임 웹사이트™re cutting hairs on IVF or IUI. I think what they바카라 게임 웹사이트™re cutting hairs on is an abortion ban and the ability to be able to deny families the chance to have a beautiful child.

BASH: Vice President Harris, you were a very staunch defender of President Biden바카라 게임 웹사이트™s capacity to serve another four years right after the debate. You insisted that President Biden is extraordinarily strong. Given where we are now, do you have any regrets about what you told the American people?

HARRIS: No, not at all. Not at all. I have served with President Biden for almost four years now. And I바카라 게임 웹사이트™ll tell ya it바카라 게임 웹사이트™s one of the greatest honors of my career, truly. He cares so deeply about the American people. He is so smart and 바카라 게임 웹사이트” and loyal to the American people. And I have spent hours upon hours with him, be it in the Oval Office or the Situation Room. He has the intelligence, the commitment, and the judgment and disposition that I think the American people rightly deserve in their president.

By contrast, the former president has none of that. And so 바카라 게임 웹사이트” one, I 바카라 게임 웹사이트” I 바카라 게임 웹사이트” I am so proud to have served as vice president to Joe Biden. And, two, I am so proud to be running with Tim Walz for president of the United States and to bring America what I believe the American people deserve, which is a new way forward, and turn the page on the last decade of what I believe has been contrary to where the spirit of our country really lies.

BASH: With the last decade, of course, the last three and a half years has been part of your administration.

HARRIS: I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m talking about an era that started about a decade ago where there is some suggestion, warped I believe it to be, that the measure of the strength of a leader is based on you beat down instead of where I believe most Americans are, which is to believe that the true measure of the strength of a leader is based on who you lift up. That바카라 게임 웹사이트™s what바카라 게임 웹사이트™s at stake as much as any other detail that we could discuss in this election.

BASH: Because we haven바카라 게임 웹사이트™t had a chance to 바카라 게임 웹사이트” to talk, I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m just curious, staying on President Biden, when he called you and said he was pulling outta the race, what was that like? And did he offer to endorse you right away or did you ask for it?

HARRIS: It was 바카라 게임 웹사이트” it was a Sunday, so, here, I바카라 게임 웹사이트™ll 바카라 게임 웹사이트” I바카라 게임 웹사이트™ll give you a little too much information. (Laughter)

BASH: Go for it. There바카라 게임 웹사이트™s no such thing, Madam Vice President.

HARRIS: My family was staying with us. And 바카라 게임 웹사이트” including my baby nieces. And we had just had pancakes and, you know, 바카라 게임 웹사이트œAuntie, can I have more bacon?바카라 게임 웹사이트 바카라 게임 웹사이트œYes, I바카라 게임 웹사이트™ll make you more bacon.바카라 게임 웹사이트 And then we were gonna sit 바카라 게임 웹사이트” we were sitting down to 바카라 게임 웹사이트” to do a puzzle. (LAUGH) And the phone rang. And it was Joe Biden. And 바카라 게임 웹사이트” and he told me what he had decided to do. And I asked him, 바카라 게임 웹사이트œAre you sure?바카라 게임 웹사이트 And he said, 바카라 게임 웹사이트œYes.바카라 게임 웹사이트 And 바카라 게임 웹사이트” and that바카라 게임 웹사이트™s how I learned about it.

BASH: And what about the endorsement? Did you ask for it?

HARRIS: He was very clear that he was gonna support me.

BASH: So when he called to tell you, he said, 바카라 게임 웹사이트œI바카라 게임 웹사이트™m pulling outta the race and I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m gonna support you?바카라 게임 웹사이트

HARRIS: Well, my first thought was not about me to be honest with you. My first thought was about him to be honest. I think history is gonna show a number of things about Joe Biden바카라 게임 웹사이트™s presidency. I think history is gonna show that in so many ways it was transformative, be it on what we have accomplished around finally investing in America바카라 게임 웹사이트™s infrastructure, investing in new economics, in new industries, what we have done to bring our allies back together, and have confidence in who we are as America, and grow that alliance, what we have done to stand true to our principles including the 바카라 게임 웹사이트” the 바카라 게임 웹사이트” one of the most important international rules and norms, which is the importance of sovereignty and territorial integrity.

And I think history is gonna show not only has Joe Biden led an administration that has achieved those extraordinary successes, but the character of the man is one that he has been in his life and career, including as a president, quite selfless and puts the American people first.

BASH: I just have to ask you both about two standout moments, aside of course from the addresses that you both gave, but standout moments that were perhaps unexpected during the convention. You mentioned one of them, governor, a moment that you shared, that the world shared with your son, Gus. You were speaking. The camera caught him so incredibly proud of you, so emotional, saying, 바카라 게임 웹사이트œThat바카라 게임 웹사이트™s my dad.바카라 게임 웹사이트

WALZ: Yeah. I 바카라 게임 웹사이트” I don바카라 게임 웹사이트™t know as a father I could바카라 게임 웹사이트™ve ever imagined that. I 바카라 게임 웹사이트” I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m grateful for so many reasons to be on this ticket. But that moment 바카라 게임 웹사이트” to understand what was really important, to 바카라 게임 웹사이트” to have my son feel a sense of pride in me, that I was trying to do the right thing. And it was, you know, you try and protect your kids. You know it brings 바카라 게임 웹사이트” it brings notoriety in things. But it was just such a visceral, emotional moment that I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m 바카라 게임 웹사이트” I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m just 바카라 게임 웹사이트” I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m grateful I got to experience it. And I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m 바카라 게임 웹사이트” I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m so proud of him.

I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m proud of him. I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m proud of Hope. I바카라 게임 웹사이트™m proud of Gwen. She바카라 게임 웹사이트™s a wonderful mother. And these are great kids. And I think the one thing is, talking about the era we바카라 게임 웹사이트™re in, is our politics can be better. It can be different. We can 바카라 게임 웹사이트” we can show some of these things. And we can have families involved in this. And I 바카라 게임 웹사이트” I hope that there was 바카라 게임 웹사이트” I hope people felt that out there. And I hope they hugged their kids a little tighter, because you just never know. And life can be kinda hard.

BASH: And last question, Madam Vice President, the photograph that has gone viral. You were speaking. One of your grand nieces that you were just talking about was watching you accept the nomination. You didn바카라 게임 웹사이트™t explicitly talk about gender or race in your speech. But it obviously means a lot to a lot of people. And that viral picture really says it. What does it mean to you?
