Kamala Harris: I Will Appoint a Republican to My Cabinet
Kamala Harris promised Thursday to appoint a Republican to her Cabinet if she’s elected president.
“I think it’s important to have people at the table when some of the most important decisions are being made that have different views, different experiences,” Harris told CNN’s Dana Bash in a pre-released clip of the Democratic presidential nominee’s first extensive interview. “And I think it would be to the benefit of the American public to have a member of my Cabinet who was a Republican.”
Harris floated no names of potential candidates to serve as her token Republican. But her comment represents an olive branch to “Never Trumper” Republicans and independents at a time when the country is bitterly divided and the race between Harris and Donald Trump is a statistical dead heat.
