Harris sits for first solo interview as nominee

Zoom in: It was a taped interview with anchor Brian Taff. 

• Harris and running mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz did a joint interview with CNN late last month.

What she's saying: Asked about her plan for the economy, Harris pointed to her plans to provide a tax credit for starting a small business and give first-time homebuyers assistance on a down payment.

• "When I talk about building an opportunity economy, it is very much with the mind of investing in the ambitions and aspirations and the incredible work ethic of the American people, and creating opportunity for people, for example, to start a small business," she said.
• Harris said she believes Americans want a leader that brings them together, "and not someone who professes to be a leader who is trying to have us point our fingers at each other."
• She continued: "I, based on experience, and a lived experience, know in my heart, I know in my soul, I know, that the vast majority of us as Americans have so much more in common than what separates us."

What's next: Harris is set to sit down with the National Association of Black Journalists for a real-time, fact-checked and live-streamed interview on Tuesday at WHYY public radio station in Philadelphia.

• She previously criticized former President Trump for an interview he gave during NABJ's convention in July.
