Kamala Harris Calls Out Trump for Canceling ‘60 Minutes’ Interview, Urges Viewers To ‘Watch His Rallies’

Vice President Kamala Harris called out former President Donald Trump for canceling an interview with 60 Minutes on Monday, before urging viewers to “watch his rallies.”

During an interview with Harris and Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz, 60 Minutes correspondent Bill Whitaker said, “You are sitting here with us. The Trump campaign canceled an interview that they had agreed to participate in this broadcast. What do you make of that?”

Harris replied, “If he is not gonna give your viewers the ability to have a meaningful, thoughtful conversation, question and answer with you, then watch his rallies. You’re gonna hear conversations that are about himself and all of his personal grievances, and what you will not hear is anything about you, the listener.”

She concluded, “You will not hear about how he is gonna try to bring the country together, find common ground, and, Bill, that is why I believe in my soul and heart, the American people are ready to turn the page.”

While Trump was initially scheduled to appear in the special episode of 60 Minutes, he withdrew from the interview last week, just hours before CBS News’ first vice presidential debate.

During the special episode on Monday, CBS News anchor Scott Pelley revealed the reason for Trump’s withdrawal from the program.

“The campaign offered shifting explanations,” Pelley said. “First, it complained that we would fact-check the interview. We fact-check every story. Later, Trump said he needed an apology for his interview in 2020. Trump claims correspondent Lesley Stahl said in that interview that Hunter Biden’s controversial laptop came from Russia. She never said that.”
