Trump slams Harris as a "Fraud" after CNN interview
The Republican presidential candidate spoke out before, during, and after the first contact the vice president had with the press in nearly 40 days.
Kamala Harris gave her first interview as a candidate for president, and Donald Trump wasn't slow to react. Accompanied by Tim Walz, the vice president sat down with Dana Bash for a little more than 25 minutes. She was not self-critical about the Biden-Harris Administration, took aim at Donald Trump, and suffered through detailing her plan for her eventual administration.
The Republican was not left out of the Harris and Walz interview, reacting before, during, and after it was aired on CNN.

"I just saw Comrade Kamala Harris’ answer to a very weakly phrased question, which was put in more as a matter of defense than curiosity, but her answer rambled incoherently and declared her 'values haven’t changed.' On that, I agree, her values haven’t changed - The Border is going to remain open, not closed; there will be Free Healthcare for Illegal Aliens, Sanctuary Cities, No Cash Bail, Gun Confiscation, Zero Fracking, a Ban on Gasoline-Powered Cars, Private Healthcare will be abolished, a 70-80% tax rate will be put in place, and she will Defund the Police. America will become a WASTELAND!" Trump wrote on his Truth Social account.
The former president also weighed in as CNN aired the interview, which was taped in the middle of a Democratic ticket tour in Georgia.
"I look so forward to Debating Comrade Kamala Harris and exposing her for the fraud she is. Harris has changed every one of her long-held positions, on everything. America will never allow an Election WEAPONIZING MARXIST TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE U.S.," he added.
Finally, once the interview was over, he merely wrote the following: "BORING!!!".
Trump and Harris will face each other next September 10 in the first debate of this new election, since the first confrontation was between Trump and Joe Biden in June.
