Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris joined an interview on CNN alongside her running mate Tim Walz.
In this discussion, Harris asserted that she does not intend to ban fracking and emphasized that her stance on the issue remains unchanged.
“I made that clear on the debate stage in 2020, that I would not ban fracking. As vice-president, I did not ban fracking. As president, I will not ban fracking.”
Numerous fact-check articles have rated Harris’ remarks as false or misleading. In 2019, she said she was “in favor of banning fracking.”
In 2020, Harris said, “Joe Biden will not end fracking” and: “I will repeat, and the American people know, that Joe Biden will not ban fracking.”
During the interview, Harris appeared less authoritative due to her positioning relative to Walz.
Executives should maintain eye contact and a conversational tone, as shown by Walz’s approach.
Preparing key messages is crucial, and both candidates demonstrated strong message discipline.
Harris effectively used a “bridging technique” to steer discussions back to her campaign messages, even when faced with tough questions. Finally, the article emphasizes the “7 Cs of Effective Communication”: Confidence, Clarity, Conciseness, Coherence, Currency, and Correctness, which are essential for successful interviews.
