Well, so much for substance!
First off, we have to ask whether this is rumor or fact. Trump campaign adviser Jason Miller alleged on Twitter an hour ago or so that the vaunted Kamala Harris-Tim Walz media launch will only last less than a typical sitcom episode, sans commercials. Miller also claims to be « hearing » that CNN won’t release a full transcript of the Dana Bash interview either.
That would be . strange:
Hearing that @CNN will NOT be releasing the full transcript of all 18-minutes (total) of the interview with Kamala Harris and Human Blocking Dummy Coach Walz.

Supposedly, the interview was supposed to run for an hour. With two interview subjects taking their first (supposedly) adversarial questions since getting appointed to the ticket, especially on a ticket that has yet to publish its policy agenda, even an hour probably wouldn’t be enough time to get in-depth answers to pressing issues on the economy, immigration, Israel and Gaza, crime, and health care.
If that’s true, then here’s about a tenth of the interview right here. Bash asks why Harris’ campaign has claimed that she will reverse practically all of her policy positions from 2019 and before while running for president now. Harris claims « my values have not changed », but doesn’t explain why her policy positions did:
In all, the joint interview in Savannah with her running mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz – their first since becoming the Democratic presidential ticket – provided one of the clearest looks into Harris’ positions and her plans for the presidency.
