In an interview with CNN, Harris emphasized that his values have not changed on key political issues.
Democratic presidential candidate in the United States Terrible Harris says he will pick a Republican for his cabinet if voted president in November. Harris said he feels it’s important to hear different points of view when making important decisions.
– I believe that it would be in the interest of the American people to have a Republican in my government, he said.
Harris said his first priority as president would be to support and strengthen the American middle class.
Harris emphasized that his values have not changed on key political issues. Republicans in particular have accused Harris of changing his position on several issues over the past few years. In the interview, Harris was asked, among other things, about his changed position on water fracturing. Water fracturing is about a controversial oil and gas production method, whose environmental effects have caused serious concern.
In September 2019, when Harris was running for the Democratic presidential nomination, he said he supported banning water fracturing. CNN reporter Dana Bash asked if Harris would still deny water fracturing.
– No, and I already made this clear at the debate in 2020. As vice president, I have not banned water fracturing. As president, I do not deny water fracturing, he stated.
Harris’s position on immigration has also become stricter over the years. Previously, he was of the opinion, for example, that illegal border crossing should be decriminalized. Now Harris comments on the matter in different ways:
– We have laws that must be followed and that apply to those who cross our borders illegally. With them [laeilla] must have its punishment.
In an interview with CNN, Harris sidestepped the question of why Joe Biden the administration waited more than three years before taking significant action to resolve the crisis at the US southern border.
Instead, Harris accused Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump of destroying the border law drafted by Democrats and Republicans.
– Trump received information about the bill in question, which would have contributed to securing our border. And because Trump believed the bill wouldn’t have helped him politically, he told his people in Congress, “Don’t push it.”
Harris also briefly commented on the Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s false claims that he had changed his identity from Indian to Black some years ago.
– Same old, tired tricks. Next question, please, Harris was content to state the matter.
