CNN announced Tuesday that US Vice President Kamala Harris will give her first interview on CNN on Thursday since entering the election campaign a little over a month ago.

She will be interviewed by Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who will accompany her as her running mate, with whom she will campaign in Georgia (south), a crucial state in the November 5 elections.
CNN said the interview with journalist Dana Bash will air at 9 p.m. local time.
The 59-year-old Democrat faced increasing pressure to give an on-the-record interview to a major US media outlet.
Until now, she has been content with very short exchanges with journalists after her travels or meetings with influential figures.
This CNN interview, which will be followed by a highly anticipated debate with Donald Trump on September 10, confirms that this extraordinary presidential campaign has entered another phase, ten weeks before the election and after a jubilant Democratic inauguration convention last week in Chicago.
Kamala Harris, who entered the race after Joe Biden's stunning July 21 withdrawal, has since gained some momentum in the polls, but the race remains very close.
Donald Trump is looking for a new lease on life, to win votes beyond his usual base, which has been very stable and more enthusiastic since the assassination attempt on July 13.
