Here are the takeaways from the Democratic ticket’s interview with CNN’s Dana Bash:
Flip-flop on fracking: In 2019, Kamala Harris opposed fracking – a position that would have proved politically dangerous in Pennsylvania, where she is a major employer. Now, he says, he supports it.
Progressives have resisted cheating because of concerns about climate change. But under the Cost Reduction Act, a bill that Harris pushed through the Senate and President Joe Biden signed into law in 2022, fracking has expanded.
Harris said he has changed his stance on cheating in 2020, saying Biden “will not stop cheating.”
“What I’ve seen is that we can grow and we can grow a thriving clean energy economy without banning fracking,” he told Bash.
Nominating a Republican to the Cabinet: Asked if he would nominate a Republican to his Cabinet, Harris said: “Yes, I would.”
He said: “No one in particular. “We have 68 days to go to this election, so I am not putting the cart before the horse. But I would. ”

Refusal to engage in information politics: Last month, Donald Trump questioned Harris’ racial identity, suggesting that he once identified as South Asian but “became Black” for political gain.
Shaking his head, Harris said Trump’s statement was part of his “tired old playbook.”
“Next question please,” he said.
His refusal to comment is in line with his campaign strategy to avoid leaning into identity politics after Trump’s remarks. It could also show how Harris might deal with issues of her race and gender during her first interview with Trump next month.
Biden’s line: Harris said he was having breakfast with his family on July 21 when the phone rang.
“It was Joe Biden, and he told me what he had decided,” Harris said, in his extensive remarks about how he learned the president was wrapping up his re-election bid and allowed him to replace him at the top of the Democratic Party. a ticket.
I asked him, ‘Are you sure?’ and he said: ‘Yes,'” Harris recalled. “My first thought wasn’t about me, to tell you the truth. My first thought was about him.”

Blaming Trump on border security: Trump has attacked the Biden administration’s handling of the US-Mexico border as a signature issue, but Harris says Trump bears much of the blame for the border security problems he laments.
He signaled his opposition to a bipartisan border security bill advanced by a group of lawmakers. Asked if he would push the bill if elected president, Harris said: “I will make sure it comes to my desk and I will sign it.”
He also said he does not support the crime of crossing the border into the United States illegally, reversing another position he took in 2019.
Walz says he has his faults: Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Harris’ running mate, has come under fire for false claims he has made, including a 2018 video in which he talks about “weapons of war, that I took from the war.”
Although Walz has served 24 years in the Army National Guard, he has never been in a combat zone. He said he was wrong.
He said: “My wife, an English teacher, told me that my grammar is not always correct.
Walz also said in his conference speech that he and his wife used IVF to conceive their children but has since clarified that it is a different type of fertility treatment.
He said: “I certainly have my mistakes when I do them.
