Vice President Kamala Harris will sit down with MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle for her first one-on-one interview since securing the Democratic nomination for President.
The interview will air on the cable network at 7 PM ET on Wednesday. It will take place in Pittsburgh, where the Vice President is campaigning this week.
Instead of The ReidOut with Joy Reid, which usually airs in that timeslot, MSNBC is hosting a special two-hour block of All In with Chris Hayes on Wednesday evening, with Ruhle — who hosts the late-night program for the network at 11 PM ET — featuring her interview in the primetime window.
The interview between Stephanie Ruhle and Kamala Harris comes after the MSNBC anchor raised eyebrows during an appearance on Bill Maher’s HBO show over the weekend. As a guest on the show, Ruhle argued that Harris doesn’t need to be perfect for voters, she just needs to not be Donald Trump.
“She’s running against Trump, we have two choices. There are some things you might not know the answer to and in 2024, unlike 2016 for a lot of the American people, we know exactly what Trump will do, who he is, and the kind of threat he is to democracy,” she said.
The MSNBC interview will mark the second major cable news interview Harris has done since accepting the Democratic presidential nomination last month. She, alongside running mate Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), sat down with CNN anchor Dana Bash at the end of August.
