WHAT, IF ANY, MONDAY NATURE MAY HAVE IN STORE FOR ALL OF US THIS HOLIDAY WEEKEND. >>> VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS IS BACK IN WASHINGTON TODAY AFTER COMPLETING HER FIRST SITDOWN INTERVIEW SINCE LAUNCHING HER PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN. HARRIS TOLD CNN YESTERDAY ONE OF THE HIGHEST PRIORITIES IS TO, QUOTE, SUPPORT AND STRENGTHEN THE MIDDLE CLASS.>> IT'S GOING TO BE ABOUT ONE IMPLEMENTING MY PLAN FOR WHAT I CALL AN OPPORTUNITY ECONOMY. VERY LAID OUT A NUMBER OF PROPOSALS IN THAT REGARD. WHICH INCLUDE WHAT WE ARE GOING TO BRING DOWN THE COST OF EVERYDAY GOODS. WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO TO INVEST IN AMERICA'S SMALL BUSINESSES. WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO TO INVEST IN FAMILIES. >> CAMPAIGN REPORTER NEW VEHICLE VERSUS JOINS US FROM ARE WASHINGTON BUREAU WITH MORE. THOSE ARE THE GENERAL OUTLINES APPEARS' POLICY. SHE WAS ALSO PRESSED ON HER POLICY REVERSALS, INCLUDING ON FRACKING, WHICH SHE IS NOW VOWING TO NOT BAN. AFTER SING BACK IN 2019 THAT SHE WOULD. LET'S PLAY FOR OUR VIEWERS WHAT SHE SAID ABOUT THAT YESTERDAY. >> LET'S BE CLEAR, MY VALUES HAVE NOT CHANGED. I BELIEVE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE TAKE SERIOUSLY WHAT WE MUST DO TO GUARD AGAINST WHAT IS A CLEAR CRISIS, IN TERMS OF THE CLIMATE.>> SHIFT ON POLICY, BUT NOT VALUES. WHAT DID YOU MAKE OF THAT AND OTHER TOPICS THE VICE PRESIDENT TACKLED? >> WITH WHAT WE SAW YESTERDAY DURING CNN'S INTERVIEW HARRIS WAS QUESTION ON HER POLICY REVERSALS TO WHICH SHE MADE THE CASE THAT HER VALUES HAVE NEVER CHANGED THROUGHOUT HER ENTIRE POLITICAL CAREER. WHAT WE ALSO SAW WAS A CHANGE IN HER IMMIGRATION POLICY, WHERE SHE STANDS NOW COMPARED TO WHAT SHE WAS RUNNING ON IN 2019 AND 2020. WE ARE NOW SEEING A VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS WHO IS TAKING A BROADER, MORE BALANCED APPROACH WHEN IT COMES IMMIGRATION AND THE U.S. SOUTHERN BORDER. HARRIS ALSO MADE IT CLEAR THAT SHE IS RUNNING ON BORDER SECURITY, MEANING SHE INTENDS FOR THERE TO BE CONSEQUENCES FOR ANY ILLEGAL ACTIVITY GOING ON AT THE BORDER. SHE ALSO MADE THE CASE THAT SHE IS THE ONLY PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE THAT HAS ACTUALLY PROSECUTED CRIMINAL ORGANIZATIONS WITH HER BACKGROUND AS A PROSECUTOR. WHAT WE NOW SEE IS THAT SHE IS MORE BORDER SECURITY. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE TO WHAT SHE WAS RUNNING ON IN 2019. >> AND IT'S CRUCIAL FOR VOTERS, BECAUSE EVERYONE IS TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE SPECIFICS OF A HARRIS ADMINISTRATION. HOW MUCH OF HER POLICIES WILL RESEMBLE PRESIDENT BIDEN'S? I KNOW SHE MENTIONED THE INFLATION REDUCTION ACT. BUT HOW MUCH ELSE WILL SHE BRING TO THE TABLE? WE KNOW GOVERNOR TIM WALZ AND HE WAS PRESSED ABOUT THE CONTROVERSY OVER HIS MILITARY RECORDS. SOME BELIEVING HE SAID HE PREVIOUSLY SAW COMBAT. HERE WAS HIS RESPONSE WHEN PRESSED ON THAT TOPIC WHEN HE REALLY HASN'T SEEN COMBAT. >> I SAID, WE WERE TALKING BUT IN THIS CASE, THIS WAS AFTER A SCHOOL SHOOTING, THE IDEAS OF CARRYING THESE WEAPONS OF WAR. MY WIFE TELLS ME MY GRAMMAR IS NOT ALWAYS CORRECT. >> WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THAT? >> WE REALLY DID NOT A CLEAR, DIRECT ANSWER FROM GOVERNOR WALZ WHEN HE WAS QUESTIONED ON IF HE HAD MISSPOKE ABOUT SEVERAL ISSUES, INCLUDING HIS MILITARY RECORD USE OF IVF TREATMENTS, WHEN HIM AND HIS WIFE WERE TRYING TO HAVE CHILDREN. ALSO WITH HIS DRUNK DRIVING CASE. HE WAS ASKED EXPLICITLY IF HE HAD MISSPOKE IN. WE DIDN'T NECESSARILY GET AN ANSWER HERE FROM GOVERNOR WALZ. HE INSTEAD STEER THE CONVERSATION TO ASK VOTERS CONTINUE TO GET TO KNOW HIM THEY WILL SEE THAT HE IS JUST LIKE THEM. HE SPEAKS LIKE THEM. AND IS VERY CANDID ABOUT DIFFERENT ISSUES. WHEN ASKED DIRECTLY IF HE HAD MISSPOKE IN WE DIDN'T NECESSARILY GET A YES OR A NO
