The Trump campaign offered a list of 10 questions for CNN to ask Vice President Kamala Harris during her first sit-down interview since launching her campaign for president over a month ago.
The questions were sent in an email and posted on a thread to X late Wednesday.
“Last night, CNN announced that Kamala has mustered up the courage to sit for a *joint* interview — after 39 days of hiding out from reporters,” the thread began. “Here are 10 questions @DanaBashCNN MUST ask Kamala Harris…”
The campaign’s first question asked, “If you are capable of lowering prices for Americans, why haven’t you done it in the 3½ years you have been in office?”
Other topics included changing policies: “You have sent anonymous aides out to claim you’ve abandoned the radically liberal positions that you’ve held for decades. Do you think lying to the American people is the best strategy?”
The Trump campaign also challenged Harris over President Joe Biden’s health, asking, “Why did you conceal Joe Biden’s cognitive decline from the American people?”
The thread’s final comment stated, “It’s no coincidence that Kamala’s first interview is scheduled for the Thursday night before Labor Day weekend. They already hope it gets lost — and it hasn’t even aired yet. Kamala is clearly scared to do an interview on her own and it’s pre-taped so they can clean it up.”
The interview will reportedly also include vice presidential running mate Tim Walz. CNN revealed that the interview will be pre-recorded on Thursday and aired at 9 p.m. Eastern Time.
As RSBN previously reported, the announcement that Harris would be joined by Walz during the interview was quickly criticized, including during an interview on CNN’s own network.
“I think it’s incredibly weak, weak sauce, to show up with your running mate,” Scott Jennings, a former special assistant to President George W. Bush, told CNN, arguing that the decision showed a “troubling lack of confidence in her political ability.”
“It makes you wonder as a voter, ‘What kind of president would you be?’” he continued. “I think Republicans are going to think it’s pretty weak to show up effectively with someone who’ll take up half the time.”
Harris has also only committed to one interview with Trump so far, scheduled for Sept. 10 on ABC as a live event in Philadelphia.
