US Vice-President Kamala Harris has defended changing her mind on key issues in her first interview since entering the presidential race.
The Democratic nominee was pressed on why her policies on immigration and climate have become more moderate since she ran for president in 2019.
“I think the most important and most significant aspect of my policy perspective and decisions is my values have not changed,” she told CNN’s Dana Bash.
She also vowed to “turn the page” on the divisive rhetoric of the Trump era, in the joint interview with her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
Her Republican opponent Donald Trump described the interview as “BORING!!!” on Truth Social when it concluded, and described Ms Harris as a fraud.
The vice-president was forced to defend the White House’s economic track record, as inflation and high cost-of-living prices continue to hurt Americans.
When asked why she hadn’t already implemented her ideas to tackle economic hardship she said they had done a lot of good work already but there was more to do.
Polls suggest that voters would prefer Trump’s handling of the economy.
