Vice President Kamala Harris has been the Popular seeker for chairman for lower than three months. In that time, she's dealt with implacable attacks from former President Donald Trump as she's defended her record and pitched herself and her plans to the American public.
This week on 60 twinkles, pressman Bill Whitaker canvassed Harris and running mate Gov. Tim Walz to learn further about the Popular ticket's plans on the frugality, immigration, foreign affairs and further.
It's the third time Whitaker has canvassed Harris and his first sit- down with Walz. The interviews were conducted with lower than a month to go before the Nov. 5 election, when Harris and Walz will face off against former President Donald Trump and his handling mate, Sen. JD Vance.
- One year after the Hamas terror attack on Israel, Harris discusses war in the Middle East
Whittaker asked Harris if the US had influence over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and if he was a close ally. President Biden's White House has called for a cease-fire in Gaza, but Israel has insisted on continuing the war. The administration also called for a cease-fire in Lebanon, before Israel increases its bombing there.
"I think, with all due respect, the better question is whether we have a significant alliance between the American people and the Israeli people," Harris said. "And the answer to that question is yes."

Harris says she'll handle Putin, the Ukraine war
While the Israel-Hamas war has dominated the headlines for the past year since Hamas launched a terrorist attack on October 7, the Ukraine-Russia war has been ongoing for more than two years.
Harris said she would not meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss ending the war without Ukraine's involvement.
"Ukraine should have a say in the future of Ukraine," he said. "Donald Trump, if he was president, Putin would be sitting in Kiev right now." Let's be clear about this. They talk about, 'Oh, they can finish it on the first day.' You know what it's like to surrender?"

responds to Trump's decision not to sit down with 60 Minutes
Voters will not hear directly from former President Donald Trump during the 60 Minutes election special. Trump later declined to attend after initially accepting.
"If he's not giving your audience the ability to have a meaningful, thoughtful conversation with you, a Q&A, watch his rallies," Harris said. "You're going to hear conversations that are about him and all his personal grievances."
- Voters' top concern: the economy
The economy is at the top of voters' concerns as Election Day approaches, but Harris defended the Biden administration's record, pointing to low unemployment numbers. He also touted his campaign proposals to impose a federal ban on food and grocery price increases, expand the child tax credit and give tax breaks to first-time homebuyers and people starting small businesses.
Whittaker asked how she plans to pay for her plans and get them through Congress.
"One of the things I'm going to do is make sure the wealthiest among us who can afford it pay our fair share in taxes," Harris said. "It's not right that teachers and nurses and firefighters are paying more taxes than billionaires and the biggest corporations."
