Kamala Harris dragged on CNN for ‘weaksauce’ decision to bring Tim Walz to first interview

Vice President Kamala Harris is facing backlash for opting to bring her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, to her first interview since President Biden dropped his reelection bid – with critics insisting it’s a “weak sauce” move that shows her “lack of confidence.”

Harris, 59, is slated to appear alongside her No. 2 for the “joint interview” that’ll air on CNN Thursday night.

The decision was quickly ripped by those who accused the Democratic presidential nominee of using Walz as a crutch as she braces to defend her record and policies after weeks of avoiding such an exchange.

I am sick of all the corporate news. I despise all of them.😅

Is Tim Walz gonna hold Kamala's hand when meeting face to face with Putin and Xi?

[JamesE]

If the interview is not taped, CNN can’t drip it out on-line in bits and pieces. They would make less money.

[jeffspicolli]

I can't find more than 10 edited minutes of this hour-long "interview" anywhere.

[lindawadeok]

As with most things Scott Jennings doesn't even know the modern countries history in which the first interview is almost always the president and the vice president sitting down

[HyrimAbiff-tfqq]

I've heard the interview is being taped, then shown on Thursday.

[nikhil]

Scott is not biased on CNN. I wonder how long they will keep him on the network lol

[earthling]

My Lord ...with all of the important issues to focus this is an issue? This is what this country has deteriorated into after news became 24/7. Just a bunch of inane topics to fill up all the time.

How is this surprising?! A month ago the democrats didn’t know how to get rid of her😂 now she’s their savior 😂😂

When a political figure does an interview they are talking to the people.
The people deserve to hear from their leaders.

“Thank you so much for coming, madam Vice President. As you know, I ask tough questions of both sides. So, how do you handle the criticism from Mr. Trump so well? People just love and admire you so much.”
“Thanks for having me, Dana. I think I’ll let Gov. Walz take that one.”

You know whats weak sauce? The NY Post. What a joke

[jawamaster]

Really scraping from the bottom of the barrel, NYP. Only showing a 40 sec edit… no rebuttals allowed

[madeleinelogan]

Tell it like it is! That's like someone going into a company for an executive job position ... but oh wait... "may I bring my dad with me to the interview?". Any interviewing executive will just say.... "ummm no.... next candidate please"! That's just WEAK! And I say that as a woman... of color! What's she going to ask for next?... her security blanket before she goes to sleep?! If she's THAT scared to go on an interview with a biased + fake news media like CNN who obviously coddles and worships her ---> how will she be when representing the country on an international level. They'll have her (and our country) for lunch! Pathetic!

[TheNifster]

Kamala can’t even do an edited soft ball CNN interview without backup.

[Jerry-ynlo]

When is Kamala going to be interviewed by Howard Stern on his radio show ? 📻 🤔

[frankcovacevich]

Wake up Republicans, don't give MAGA more than 20 % of the vote, cleanse your party of this nonsense.
Every, every presidential nominee has done joint interviews with their running mates, everyone of them

[christinemarieciurlino-dun]

There’s a little catch she said, “ I still have the same values” that’s a warning sign how she will be as president!

[zeebosa]

yeah pretty week for sure, also kinda weird would be nice to actually see here do an interview that isnt less than 5 min

[lindahurley]

You people wanted the interview just so you could criticism. So you talk bad about her and Tim.
