Kamala Harris Gives First Fox News Interview, Vows to Break from Biden Presidency
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kamala Harris has appeared for the first time on Fox News, just weeks
ahead of the November election. In what was widely described as a
"combative" interview with Bret Baier on Wednesday evening, Harris
asserted her administration will break from the Biden presidency.

Vice President Kamala Harris: "My presidency will not be a continuation
of Joe Biden's presidency. And like every new president that comes in to
office, I will bring my life experiences, my professional experiences
and fresh and new ideas. I represent a new generation of leadership."

On foreign policy, Harris called Iran the greatest threat to the U.S.
and touted ongoing U.S. weapons shipments to Israel. Harris also
defended her hard-line stance on immigration.

Vice President Kamala Harris: "I do not believe in decriminalizing
border crossings, and I have not done that as vice president, and I will
not do that as president."
