Kamala Harris Highlights Biden’s Economic Record in CNN Interview

In her first interview since securing the Democratic presidential nomination, Kamala Harris lauded the Biden administration's economic achievements, describing them as "good work." She carefully balanced her praise for investments in domestic manufacturing, clean energy, and infrastructure with the acknowledgment that many Americans still do not feel economically secure.


When asked about her plans for the first day of her presidency, Harris spoke broadly about promoting an "opportunity economy" to strengthen the middle class but did not specify any immediate actions, such as executive orders. She also addressed her shift away from more liberal positions, including her previous support for banning fracking.


In a notable moment, Harris suggested that she might appoint a Republican to her cabinet, signaling a willingness to govern in a bipartisan manner. However, she did not name any potential candidates.
