ai generated text

Kamala Harris, the US Vice President, has addressed Republican claims that she has shifted her stance on key issues. In a joint CNN interview with her running mate Tim Walz, Harris stated that her values have not changed. She also expressed a willingness to appoint a Republican to her cabinet if elected as President in November, as part of her effort to unify a polarized nation.

Kamala Harris
Democratic Party
1. We [have] got 68 days to go with this election, so I'm not putting the cart before the horse.
2. We cannot look away in the face of these tragedies. We cannot allow ourselves to become numb to the suffering. And I will not be silent.
3. Trump's border wall is a complete waste of taxpayer money and won't make us any safer.
4. I believe it is important to build consensus, and it is important to find a common place of understanding of where we can actually solve problems.
5. You mentioned the Green New Deal. I have always believed – and I have worked on it – that the climate crisis is real, that it is an urgent matter to which we should apply metrics that include holding ourselves to deadlines around time.
6. There's no question I'm in favour of banning fracking.
7. We were sitting down to do a puzzle, and the phone rang, and it was Joe Biden. And he told me what he had decided to do.
8. I have spent my career inviting diversity of opinion. I think it's important to have people at the table when some of the most important decisions are being made that have different views, different experiences.
9. We have set goals for the United States of America, and by extension the globe, around when we should meet certain standards for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
10. We can increase a thriving clean energy economy without banning fracking.
Donald Trump
Republican Party
1. Now she's saying, 'Oh we want to build a strong border,'
2. She doesn't know how to do a news conference; she's not smart enough to do a news conference.
3. Where has she been for three and a half years, as we took in 20 million people, many of them horrible criminals?
4. I just saw Comrade Kamala Harris' answer to a very weakly-phrased question, a question that was put in more as a matter of defense than curiosity, but her answer rambled incoherently, and declared her 'values haven't changed.
Phil Gordon
White House
1. She does not support an arms embargo on Israel.
Dana Bash
CNN
1. How should voters look at some of the changes that you've made?
2. Is it because you have more experience now and you've learned more about the information? Is it because you were running for president in a Democratic primary? And should they feel comfortable and confident that what you're saying now is going to be your policy moving forward?
