Kamala Harris, the Most Accomplished and Dynamic Democrat Politician in History Since the Last One, Finally Agrees to One Pre-Taped, Edited Interview with CNN Democrat Dana Bash.
Oh, and She'll Be Bringing Along Her Minder, Tim Walz.

She's so strong and empowered she needs a man to copy her homework off of, even when she'll be asked the easiest, softest questions by CNN's second-most biased "journalist" (after Jim Acosta, natch).

Naturally, you assumed that the interview would take place on a left-leaning network. Of course, you were right. CNN gets the honor of holding the first interview, and chief political correspondent and anchor Dana Bash will be the one to conduct it. Because of course.

But that's not the catch.

Despite all the criticism Harris has received, even from her allies in the media, for not doing any sit-down interviews or press conferences, her first interview won't be solo. Believe it or not, her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.), will be her babysitter for the interview.

I guess she's trying to reach out to Generation Z by, like them, also bringing along her dad to a job interview:

After 37 days as the candidate, Harris is giving a joint interview. Could it be any more clear that Harris and her team don't believe she's up to standing on her own? She needs Walz there as a backup in case she goes off the rails.

...

She's been Vice President for 3 1/2 years. At what point do we take the training wheels off her bike?

...

Even CNN, in the article announcing the interview, points out that Harris has a track record of failure in this department.

Previous major interviews have presented a challenge for Harris. During a 2021 sit-down with NBC's Lester Holt, Harris responded with annoyance when asked why she had not visited the US-Mexico border as part of her assignment to investigate root causes of migration from Central and South America.

"At some point, you know, we are going to the border," Harris said in the interview. "We've been to the border. So, this whole, this whole, this whole thing about the border. We've been to the border. We've been to the border."

Holt responded: "You haven't been to the border."

"Vice President Harris, will you sit for an interview?"

"Only if I can bring Dad with me!"

The campaign claims she is going to give an interview but not solo -- it will be w/Walz, her Emotional Support Governor.

CNN's lone Republican commentator says what CNN won't say: This shows weakness by Kamala Harris. People do not bring Emotional Support Governors along for help if they can do the job themselves.

COOPER: Scott, it's the first time the vice president going to be sitting down for an interview. She's doing it with her vice-presidential candidate, Tim Walz. Do you think that blunts attacks from Republicans or is the line now going to be, well, why isn't she doing it by yourself?

JENNINGS: Look, I have great confidence and Dana and CNN to do this. I think it's incredibly weak, weak sauce to show up with your running mate. The fact that they don't have enough confidence in her to let her sit herself the actual top of the ticket and do a single interview.

In fact, I think the handwringing and the gyrations over this over the last month show troubling lack of confidence in her political ability, which also makes you wonder as a voter, well, what kind of president would you be if this kind of a small time decision can we do an interview or not -- what does that look like for your decision-making process and so on?

So yes, I think Republicans are going to think it's pretty weak to show up with effectively someone to take up half the time.

And bail her out when she begins word-salading and cackling inappropriately.

Nevermind the fact that she refuses to do a live interview -- she wants CNN to trim out her most embarrassing moments, obviously.

And CNN will be too eager to comply.
