Kamala Harris' Post-Biden Shift and Potential Bipartisan Cabinet

Kamala Harris defended her policy shift to the center during an interview, and hinted at including a Republican in her cabinet if elected. In her first mainstream news interview since being nominated, Harris emphasized that her core values remain unchanged while highlighting the need for a diverse cabinet.

Kamala Harris defended her recent policy shift towards the center on Thursday, stating she may include a Republican in her cabinet if elected. This marked her first interview with a mainstream news organization since being nominated by the Democratic Party to run for president.

"The most significant aspect of my policy perspective is that my values have not changed," Harris told CNN's Dana Bash. Harris has made a notable shift towards the center on various issues, including toughening her stance on border migration and no longer advocating for a fracking ban. These adjustments reflect her strategy to win key swing states like Pennsylvania in the upcoming election against Republican Donald Trump.

In the interview, Harris aimed to present herself as well-versed in the issues at hand. She, along with her running mate Tim Walz, discussed the importance of having a diversity of opinions in her cabinet, which may even include a Republican. This outreach is part of her broader strategy to appeal to a wide range of voters.
