Kamala Harris recently sat down for an exclusive interview, outlining her plans to address Donald Trump and secure the presidency. The vice president, now the Democratic nominee, showcased a more polished and strategic approach, avoiding potential missteps that could hinder her momentum.

During the interview, Harris focused on overarching themes and goals rather than delving into intricate policy details. She chose not to elaborate fully on certain policy reversals, such as those related to immigration and energy.

Compared to her earlier presidential bid and initial days as vice president, Harris displayed improved deftness, discipline, and readiness in handling tough questions. She adeptly navigated inquiries about her vulnerabilities by redirecting the conversation to safer topics, a skill she demonstrated after a challenging interview in 2021.

Notably, Harris managed to avoid any significant missteps that could derail her campaign, ensuring a smooth path leading up to her upcoming debate with the former president on September 10 in Philadelphia.

Following her impactful keynote address at the Democratic convention, where she emphasized the need to move past Trump's divisive politics, Harris declined to engage with her Republican opponent's attempts to provoke discussions about her racial background.

When asked about her racial identity, Harris swiftly dismissed the issue, indicating her determination not to let the campaign be overshadowed by race-related questions. Despite being a trailblazer as a potential first Black woman and Indian American president, Harris made it clear that she aims to keep the focus on her vision for the country.
