US Vice President Kamala Harris has said her values “have not changed” as she was questioned along with her running mate Tim Walz in their first major television interview of their presidential campaign.

The interview with CNN’s Dana Bash gives Ms Harris a chance to quell criticism that she has eschewed uncontrolled environments, while also giving her a fresh platform to define her campaign and test her political mettle ahead of an upcoming debate with former president Donald Trump set for September 10.
