Kamala Harris and Tim Walz sat for a joint interview with Dana Bash of CNN. Once the interview aired, Donald Trump Jr. reacted to the interview. He wrote on his official X (formerly Twitter) profile, "Wait, the first interview with Kamala and Walz is only 18 minutes long and CNN isn't even releasing the whole thing? WTF!???"

He retweeted a post made by Jason Miller. Miller wrote, "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. What’s being cut out???"
Tim Walz also posted a video on his official Twitter account. He took parodical dig at the much-discussed and now controversial interview. He captioned the post, "BREAKING: I have gotten ahold of the full Kamala Harris CNN interview."

In a sneak peek at her first in-person interview with the media since joining the Democratic presidential ticket, Vice President Kamala Harris defended her policy of shifting positions on important issues like energy. "Generally speaking, how should voters look at some of the changes that you've made?" CNN host Dana Bash asked Harris in the preview clip released late Thursday afternoon. "… Is it because you have more experience now, and you've learned more about the information? Is it because you were running for president in a Democratic primary? And should they feel comfortable and confident that what you're saying now is going to be your policy moving forward?"
Since President Biden withdrew from the race last month, voters, political analysts, and the Trump campaign have accused Harris of reversing positions on important subjects. For instance, Harris' team declared last month that the vice president opposed outlawing fracking, an oil production method that is widely accepted in crucial states like Pennsylvania.
