In a recent interview on Fox & Friends, Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, a Republican, made remarks about Vice President Kamala Harris and her upcoming joint interview with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz on CNN. Sanders stated that Democrats believe Harris "needs a babysitter," suggesting that her own team and party have concerns about her ability to handle tough questions.

The CNN interview, featuring Harris and Walz, was announced recently amidst mounting pressure for the Vice President to sit for an interview as she assumes a prominent role in the Democratic presidential ticket. This joint appearance follows a rise in enthusiasm and energy around Harris, as well as her gaining ground on former President Donald Trump in national polls.

Sanders emphasized that the interview on CNN should not be a challenging one, being hosted by a network known for its center-left leaning. However, she implied that the presence of Walz alongside Harris is a strategic move by Democrats, allowing him to step in and answer questions if Harris faces difficulties, as has been the case in previous interviews.

The upcoming interview on CNN between Harris and Walz is seen as an important opportunity for the Vice President to further connect with voters and present her vision for the future. With the current political landscape and the upcoming ABC News debate against Trump, Harris's performance in these public appearances will be closely scrutinized.

Trump has raised questions about his participation in the upcoming debate against Harris, but on Tuesday, he stated that an agreement had been reached with Harris's campaign. He also mentioned assurances by ABC News that the debate would be "fair and equitable," with neither side being given the questions in advance.

The Hill has reached out to both the Harris campaign and CNN for their comments on the matter, but as of now, no response has been received.

As the anticipation builds for Harris's joint CNN interview and the upcoming debate, it remains to be seen how she will navigate these challenging moments and assert herself as a strong candidate for the Democratic party.
