在成为民主党候选人后的首次深度采访中，当被问及她不断变化的政策立场时，副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯告诉CNN，她的“价值观没有改变”
“我的价值观没有改变”
在美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)周四下午播出的一段视频片段中，主播兼首席政治记者达纳·巴什(Dana Bash)询问哈里斯她对气候变化和其他问题的立场转变。
“选民应该如何看待你所做的一些改变?是因为你现在有了更多的经验，了解了更多的信息吗?是因为你在民主党初选中竞选总统吗?他们应该对你现在所说的将成为你未来的政策感到放心和有信心吗?”巴什问道。
“丹娜，我认为我的政策观点和决策中最重要和最有意义的方面是我的价值观没有改变，”哈里斯回答说。“你提到了绿色新政。我一直相信——我也一直致力于此——气候危机是真实存在的，这是一个紧迫的问题，我们应该对它采用包括按时完成任务在内的衡量标准。
“我们通过降低通货膨胀法案做到了这一点。作为一个例子，我们已经为美利坚合众国，进而为全球，设定了我们应该在什么时候达到减少温室气体排放的某些标准的目标，”哈里斯继续说道。
“这一价值没有改变。我对于我们需要做些什么来保卫我们的边境的价值观是:这一价值观没有改变。我担任了两届加州司法部长，负责起诉跨国犯罪组织违反美国法律的行为，包括枪支、毒品和人口的非法过境。我的价值观没有改变，”她说。
哈里斯说，她对提名共和党人进入内阁持开放态度
在周四下午晚些时候发布的另一段视频中，哈里斯告诉巴什，她将任命一名共和党人进入她的内阁。然而，她说她还没有特定的人选。
“我还有68天就要参加选举了，所以我不会本末倒置，”她说。“我的职业生涯一直在邀请不同的意见。我认为，在做出一些最重要的决定时，让有不同观点和不同经历的人参与进来是很重要的。我认为，我的内阁成员中有一名共和党人会对美国公众有利。”
“请回答下一个问题，”哈里斯对特朗普的种族评论不予理会
哈里斯被要求对前总统唐纳德·特朗普的言论做出回应评论在全国黑人记者协会大会上，他似乎质疑哈里斯的种族。
“我不知道她是黑人，直到几年前她碰巧变成了黑人，现在，她想被称为黑人。所以，我不知道，她是印度人还是黑人?”特朗普当时说。
当被问及巴什的评论时，哈里斯回应道，“老一套，老一套。请回答下一个问题。”
CNN采访将于美国东部时间周四晚9点播出。
Harris, pressed on changing policy positions, says 'my values have not changed'
In her first in-depth interview since becoming the Democratic nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris told CNN, when asked about her changing policy positions, that her "values have not changed."
'My values have not changed'
In a video clip that aired on CNN Thursday afternoon, anchor and chief political correspondent Dana Bash asked Harris about her shifting positions on climate change and other matters.
"How should voters look at some of the changes that you've made? 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?" Bash asked.
"Dana, I think the most important and most significant aspect of my policy perspective and decisions is my values have not changed," Harris answered. "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.
"We did that with the Inflation Reduction Act. 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, as an example," Harris continued.
"That value has not changed. My value around what we need to do to secure our border: that value has not changed. I spent two terms as the attorney general of California prosecuting transnational criminal organizations violations of American laws regarding the passage, illegal passage, of guns, drugs, and human beings across our border. My values have not changed," she said.
Harris says she is open to naming Republican to Cabinet
Harris told Bash she would name a Republican to her Cabinet, in another clip released later Thursday afternoon. However, she said she did not have a particular person in mind.
"I've got 68 days to go with this election, so I'm not putting the cart before the horse," she said. "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. And I think it would be to the benefit of the American public to have a member of my Cabinet who was a Republican."
'Next question, please,' Harris brushes off Trump's race comments
Harris was asked to respond to former President Donald Trump'scommentsat the National Association of Black Journalists convention where he appeared to question Harris' race.
"I didn't know she was Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black and now, she wants to be known as Black. So, I don't know, is she Indian or is she Black?" Trump said at the time.
When asked about the comments by Bash, Harris responded, "Same old, tired playbook. Next question, please."
The CNN interview will air Thursday night at 9 p.m. ET.
