Tim Walz to learn more about the Democratic ticket&#8217;s plans on the economy, immigration, foreign affairs and more.<\/p>\n<p>It is the third time Whitaker has interviewed Harris and his first sit-down with Walz. The interviews were conducted with less than a month to go before the Nov. 5 election, when Harris and Walz will face off against former President Donald Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"newsletter_signup \">\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-newsletter-widget embed--float-none embed--size-large embed--type-iframe\" data-ads=\"{\" wordcount=\"\">\n<\/figure>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Whitaker asked Harris if the U.S. lacks influence over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and whether he is a close ally. President Biden&#8217;s White House has called for a cease-fire in Gaza, but <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/israel-gaza-conflict\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Israel has pressed on with the war<\/a><\/span>. The administration also called for a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CBSNews\/status\/1840782884694573466\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">cease-fire in Lebanon<\/a>, before Israel expanded its bombardment there.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think, with all due respect, the better question is do we have an important alliance between the American people and the Israeli people,&#8221; Harris said. &#8220;And the answer to that question is yes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>How Harris says she&#8217;ll handle Putin, the Ukraine war<\/h2>\n<p>While the Israel-Hamas war has dominated headlines over the last year since Hamas launched the Oct. 7 terror attack, the <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/ukraine-crisis\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Ukraine-Russia war<\/a><\/span> has been grinding on for more than two years.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Harris said she would not meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin to negotiate an end to the war without Ukraine&#8217;s involvement.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ukraine must have a say in the future of Ukraine,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Donald Trump, if he were president, Putin would be sitting in Kyiv right now. Let&#8217;s be clear about that. He talks about, &#8216;Oh, he can end it on Day One.&#8217; You know what that is? It&#8217;s about surrender.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Harris responds to Trump&#8217;s decision not to sit down with 60 Minutes<\/h2>\n<p>Voters will not hear directly from former President Donald Trump during the 60 Minutes election special. Trump, after initially accepting, later <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/60-minutes-election-special-harris-trump-oct-7\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">declined to participate<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If he is not going to give your viewers the ability to have a meaningful, thoughtful conversation, question and answer with you, then watch his rallies,&#8221; Harris said. &#8220;You&#8217;re going to hear conversations that are about himself and all of his personal grievances.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The economy tops voters&#8217; concerns as Election Day nears, but Harris defended the Biden administration&#8217;s record, pointing to low unemployment numbers. She also touted her campaign proposals to institute a federal ban on price gouging on food and groceries, expand the <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/kamala-harris-child-tax-credit-6000-dnc-what-to-know\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">child tax credit<\/a><\/span> and give tax breaks to first-time home buyers and people starting small businesses.<\/p>\n<p>Whitaker asked how she intends to pay for her plans and get them through Congress.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;One of the things is I&#8217;m going to make sure that the richest among us who can afford it pay their fair share in <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/kamala-harris-donald-trump-tax-plan-impact-on-your-paycheck\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">taxes<\/a><\/span>,&#8221; Harris said. &#8220;It is not right that teachers and nurses and firefighters are paying a higher tax rate than billionaires and the biggest corporations.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Harris recently visited the southern border and embraced President Biden&#8217;s recent crackdown on asylum seekers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a longstanding problem,&#8221; Harris said. &#8220;And solutions are at hand. And from Day One, literally, we have been offering solutions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Longer-term, Harris said, &#8220;We need Congress to be able to act to actually fix the problem.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/senate-border-security-bill-vote\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">bipartisan<\/a><\/span> border security legislation failed after Trump urged Republicans to oppose it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Donald Trump got word that this bill was afoot and could be passed,&#8221; she said, &#8220;&#8230;and he wants to run on a problem instead of fixing a problem, so he told his buddies in Congress, &#8216;Kill the bill. Don&#8217;t let it move forward.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Unlike his running mate, who has been on the national stage for many years, Democratic vice presidential candidate Gov. Tim Walz was little-known outside Minnesota just two months ago. Since Harris chose him as her running mate in August, he&#8217;s been on a much bigger stage, and facing more scrutiny than ever before.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s been criticized for misstatements about his <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/tim-walz-military-record\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">military record<\/a><\/span> and about his travels to Asia in the 1980s.<\/p>\n<p>In his debate with Trump running mate Sen. JD Vance, Walz said, &#8220;I&#8217;m a knucklehead at times.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think folks know who I am,&#8221; Walz told Whitaker, adding that he believes people know the difference between someone like him and a &#8220;pathological liar like Donald Trump.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p><!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/bill-whitaker\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Bill Whitaker<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__image\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/bill-whitaker\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\"><br \/>\n              <span class=\"img \"><img alt=\"headshot-600-bill-whitaker2.jpg \" height=\"80\" width=\"80\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2024\/05\/22\/2df24ca4-00ea-41e0-92a1-a87678e5ec58\/thumbnail\/80x80\/585107e154d8f37e5aec6db30436358c\/headshot-600-bill-whitaker2.jpg?v=3a0e65dbe151135b3f2e1627f423e21b 1x, https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2024\/05\/22\/2df24ca4-00ea-41e0-92a1-a87678e5ec58\/thumbnail\/160x160\/9e0ea51a482f17da51cd51c099fb6839\/headshot-600-bill-whitaker2.jpg?v=3a0e65dbe151135b3f2e1627f423e21b 2x\"\/><\/span><br \/>\n            <\/a>\n          <\/div>\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Bill Whitaker is an award-winning journalist and 60 Minutes correspondent who has covered major news stories, domestically and across the globe, for more than four decades with CBS News.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/kamala-harris-tim-walz-60-minutes-interview-highlights-2024-election\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vice President Kamala Harris has been the Democratic candidate for president for less than three months.
