Kamala Harris has never met or spoken with Donald Trump in person, CNN’s Dana Bash noted in the interview.
Aside from attending Trump’s State of the Union addresses during his time as president, Harris has never been in the same room as him, according to the New York Times.
CNN has published a full transcript of its interview with Kamala Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz.
The interview was Harris’s first since ascending to the top of the Democratic ticket.
BASH: Madam Vice President, Governor Walz, thank you so much for sitting down with me and bringing the bus. Bus tour is well underway here in Georgia. You have less time to make your case to voters than any candidate in modern American history. The voters are really eager to hear what your plans are. If you are elected, what would you do on day one in the White House?
HARRIS: Well, there are a number of things. I will tell you first and foremost one of my highest priorities is to do what we can to support and strengthen the middle class. When I look at the aspirations, the goals, the ambitions of the American people, I think that people are ready for a new way forward in a way that generations of Americans have been fueled by — by hope and by optimism.
