MNI POLITICAL RISK - Harris Navigates First Press Interview

US
  • Vice President Kamala Harris delivered a safe first press interview since assuming the presumptive Democratic nomination last month. Harris doubled down on the Democratic National Convention framing of her candidacy as one of change, rather than incumbency, and competently balanced defending the Biden administration's record while also calling for change.
  • The major takeaway from the interview was a clear and deliberate tack to the centre. She declined to mention abortion or women’s reproductive rights and refused to be drawn on questions about race or identity. Most importantly for Harris, she avoided any gaffes that Republicans are betting will upend her momentum at some point before Election Day.
  • Former President Donald Trump announced at a campaign rally yesterday that the federal government will pay for IVF treatment - or force insurance companies to pay for it – if he is elected to a second term.
  • Georgia Governor Brian Kemp (R-GA) is scheduled to appear at a fundraiser for Trump this evening, a signal that the popular governor is prepared to act as a surrogate in the critical swing state despite a high-profile feud with Trump since the 2020 election.
  • The National Grocers Association has issued a memo to Congressional offices, pushing back against Vice President Kamala Harris’ price gouging claim.
  • United Airlines flight attendants voted to authorise strike action unless “significant improvements” are agreed in the coming weeks.
  • Poll of the Day: Harris leads or is tied with Trump in each of the seven swing states.
