Former President Donald Trump gave pointers to CNN’s Dana Bash on how she can “achieve greatness” during her pre-taped interview with Vice President Kamala Harris.
Set to air at 9 p.m. ET Thursday, the CNN sit-down will be Harris’ first major interview since President Joe Biden dropped out of the White House race last month. Harris is expected to appear with her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
“Dana Bash of CNN has a chance at greatness today. If she gave a fair but tough interview of Comrade Kamala Harris, she will expose her as being totally inept and ill suited for the job of President, much as I exposed Crooked Joe Biden during our now famous Debate. How cool would that be for Dana and CNN???” Trump said in a post to Truth Social.

The CNN debate Trump had against Biden took place in late June. Bash and Jake Tapper served as moderators. After Biden’s fumbling performance sparked a crisis of confidence among his allies, he stepped aside under pressure, and Harris took the top spot on the Democratic Party’s ticket.
“Also, the interview should not have Tampon Tim present to help with the inevitable Kamala stumbles,” Trump continued, “and under no circumstances should the transcript be allowed to be changed in any way, shape, or form.”
Trump was knocking Harris for largely sticking to scripted remarks and short interactions with the media over the course of her nascent campaign. “Tampon Tim” is a nickname that has been attached to Walz because, in 2023, he signed into law a measure requiring free menstrual products in all Minnesota public school bathrooms.
“Dana and Jake were fair, but firm, in my CNN Debate with Crooked Joe. This is a chance for Dana Bash to reach REAL stardom, while at the same time doing a great service to our now failing Country,” Trump added. “Good luck, Dana, do the right thing!!! DJT.”
There are roughly 67 and a half days until the election. Trump and Harris agreed to have their first debate on September 10, which will be hosted by ABC News. It’s not clear if they will have another debate. Walz and Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), are slated to face off in a CBS News debate on October 1.
