In a recent CNN interview, Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, accompanied by her running mate Tim Walz, revealed her plan to include a Republican in her cabinet if she wins the upcoming elections. This move highlights her commitment to serving all Americans and fostering bipartisan cooperation.
Harris reiterated that her core values remain unchanged but explained that her vice-presidential tenure has provided her with new perspectives on critical issues like the climate crisis and immigration. Despite previously supporting a fracking ban, she has since moderated her stance, reflecting a nuanced approach to policy-making.
Speaking further, Harris emphasized the importance of building consensus and finding common ground to solve the nation's problems. Her nomination follows President Joe Biden's departure from the presidential race amid concerns over his age. If elected, Harris would make history as the first female president of the United States.
