Americans have been waiting with baited breath to hear how Vice President Kamala Harris will perform when being interviewed, and those questions (and hopefully others) could soon be answered.

While the Harris campaign wasn't in any way deluded enough to put Harris in front of an interviewer who was likely to do anything beyond pitch her softballs the entire interview, she is, finally, going to be interviewed, as Breitbart News reported.

Alex Marquardt, the host of CNN's "Situation Room" and the Chief National Security Correspondent, made the announcement on Tuesday that the 2024 Democratic presidential candidate will be conducting her first interview as a candidate a joint interview with 2024 Democratic vice presidential candidate Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) with CNN on Thursday.

This will also be the first time that the two candidates have conducted an interview together as a ticket.

More Details

According to CNN Political Director David Chalian, Harris and Walz will be interviewed by CNN Chief Political Correspondent and anchor Dana Bash in Georgia on Thursday. The interview will be shown as a primetime special at nine o'clock Eastern time on Thursday.

Following this, Marquardt stated that Chalian, in his capacity as Political Director, will have a part in assisting Bash in the formulation of questions, and he inquired about the problems that Bash will concentrate on.

The response from Chalian was that although the economy is unquestionably the most significant problem, there are a great deal of other problems for which "we just haven't heard from her, yet, in this capacity, as the Democratic nominee."

Political Climate

The interview comes as Harris faces the pressure of being the Democrat nominee without actually being voted in by the American people.

It is no doubt not lost on the Harris campaign that she is only leading the ticket because her name was on the Biden-Harris ticket, and the campaign would have lost tens of millions of dollars of already pledged donations if Democrats had put forward any other candidate to be the Democrat nominee.

This has spread fear among many and prompted a dreary forecast from Fox News’ Karl Rove, who said during a recent segment for the station that the optimism seen by the Harris campaign could be misplaced.

The analyst cited polling from earlier this week that suggested Harris is performing worse than both President Joe Biden at this time in 2020 and former first lady Hillary Clinton in 2015.

More Projections

Fox anchor Brett Baire cited a warning that has been offered to Harris where she was told that the practice of avoiding the media and keeping her policy plans close to the vest could be a move borne out of "conceit and foolhardiness."

Rove responded, saying “She [Harris] needs to be more specific. Let’s not be critical of her by saying she has to have a Democrat Congress and a Democrat Senate in order to get these things done.

"Because the same can be said for Donald Trump; he has to have a Republican Senate and a Republican House to get everything done. But people want to know where you’re coming from, and they want to know enough about the specifics to get their hands around it."

Despite the aggressively progressive tone that Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign has taken, even the left-wing take has left something to be desired among anti-Israel protesters.

Harris campaign learned this lesson the hard way when pro-Palestinian demonstrators engaged in violent confrontations with law officers and invaded an afterparty that was held in New York City to commemorate the Harris rally, as Fox News reported.

In the aftermath of a Harris rally that was held in Harlem and attended by Eric Adams, the Mayor of New York City, people were observed following the event and lined the street.

"You set Palestine on fire," one of the protesters was heard yelling.

More Rally Interactions

Protesters who were opposed to Israel were seen in the camera clip making a commotion and putting off smoke bombs: "How dare you," shouted another person.

At prior campaign appearances, Harris has been confronted by protesters, and he has yelled at them to remove them after they disrupted the event.

"You know what, if you want Donald Trump to win, then say that. Otherwise, I'm speaking," Harris said at a Michigan campaign event, eliciting static cheers from the audience.

A glaring weakness of the Biden administration, in the minds of many progressives, has been its backing of Israel's war against the terrorist group Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

Another Interruption

This comes just about a week after the Democrat nominee attempted to shout down protesters during a campaign speech in Michigan.

Around the middle of Harris's speech, the demonstrators, who were opposed to Israel's involvement in the conflict with Hamas, interfered, causing a pause in Harris' speech.

At first, Harris spoke to protesters by saying she was, "here because I believe in democracy and everybody's voice matters, but I am speaking now."

Harris became more combative as the protesters continued to shout her down.

Her Comments

"You know what, if you want Donald Trump to win, then say that. Otherwise, I'm speaking," Harris said, attracting cheers from the audience.

All of those who were participating in the demonstration were eventually removed, but not before a heated altercation broke out between supporters of Harris and protesters who yelled at one another.

The conversation took place during a trip that Harris and her new running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, were taking to the states of Wisconsin and Michigan.

The goal of the trip was to garner support from voters who were younger, more diverse, and more committed to labor, in the way that Walz and Harris see the future.

On November 18, 2022, the third-highest-ranking official in the Department of Justice under President Joe Biden resigned to join the Manhattan office that was investigating Donald Trump.

This occurred only three days after Trump announced his candidacy for the 2024 presidential election, and on the same day that Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed special counsel Jack Smith, according to Breitbart News.

Additionally, White House attorneys met with Nathan Wade for eight hours.

The Biden White House's denial of involvement in the lawfare against the former president is undermined by the seismic timeline that now reveals the initial actions of White House officials on that single day, which revived and accelerated cases against Trump in Manhattan, Washington, Atlanta, and Florida.

Official Move

Following the conviction of Trump by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg in May, Michael Colangelo's abrupt resignation as Acting Associate Attorney General to become an assistant prosecutor in Bragg's office was seen as a significant development.

After Bragg's conviction of Trump on 34 felony counts, which was doubtful before Colangelo's DOJ resignation, his self-imposed career kneecapping has come under investigation. The verdict has been criticized across political factions.

The former DOJ lawyer revitalized Bragg's Trump investigations after returning in Manhattan on December 5, 2022. Colangelo renewed Bragg's office's emphasis on Trump, prompting charges in April 2023.

Trump's Take

The move supports Trump's claims that the current administration, and his presidential opposites have gone after him and his campaign intentionally.

According to Trump, he is being targeted in a political manner so that the current president can win a second term.

Because both Trump and Biden have held the position of president, it's hard for Biden to assert that Trump doesn't know what goes into his office or where the pressure can be applied to various agencies.

DOJ's Part

The weaponization of the Department of Justice and other law enforcement agencies has been a point of contention for many in Washington and abroad.

The move of someone working directly with a Biden-appointed legal force to move toward working to prosecute Trump appears to be an incriminating move on the part of Beltway insiders.

“This is a profoundly serious matter not only for legal scholars, but also equally important that everyday folks understand the threat to them – their lives, their families, their futures,” said former U.S. Ambassador Ken Blackwell, chairman of the Conservative Action Project and chairman of the Center for Election Integrity at the America First Policy Institute.

“If the Left succeeds in this, it will literally change our form of government forever.”
