Kamala Harris says she would name a Republican to her cabinet in CNN interview

US

Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, sat down with CNN’s Dana Bash Thursday for their first major interview as nominees.

The interview is scheduled to air in full at 8 p.m. Thursday.

In that interview, Harris says if elected, she would name a Republican to serve in her cabinet, according to CNN.

“But I would, I think. I think it’s really important,” Harris told CNN. “I have spent my career inviting diversity of opinion. I think it’s important to have people at the table when some of the most important decisions are being made that have different views, different experiences. And I think it would be to the benefit of the American public to have a member of my Cabinet who was a Republican.”

Bash also asked about comments Trump made during his visit to Chicago last month, when he appeared at the National Association of Black Journalists conference and lied about Harris’ race.

“Same old, tired playbook,” Harris told CNN. “Next question, please.”

Harris also touches on fracking and immigration in the interview and explains why some of her positions have changed, according to CNN.
