People around the world watched the Kamala Harris 60 Minutes interview. People can’t stop talking about the edit and its potential to allegedly ruin her campaign.
On October 10, 2024, Kamala Harris was recently questioned on 60 Minutes. This was before the presidential election happening this year.
Some social media users claim the interview was “disastrous.” They are calling it out for being edited. The interviewer questions Harris about her current views on topics where she has changed her mind. This has subsequently caused mistrust as the interviewer claims that supporters don’t necessarily “know” her.
The below clip posted by TikTok user @davidgokhshtein brings this about.
@davidgokhshtein ????BREAKING: This might be the most disastrous interview from a presidential candidate in U.S. history. Bill Whitaker: “You’ve changed your positions so many times that no one knows what to believe.” Harris: “Well, I’m the vice president, and I travel a lot.” Just… wow.
Harris has not commented on the interview. However, Variety reports that his campaign is “distancing” itself from it and the subsequent backlash. The interview has received a lot of attention.

Kamala Harris 60 minutes edit
This follows claims that the interview has been edited in which Donald Trump chimed in with his opinions.
Donald Trump shared his thoughts on Truth Social about the alleged editing of the interview. He linked an alleged edited answer by Harris where he claimed that her “real” answer was “crazy.”
This side-by-side clip has been going viral online.
He also alleged “The fraud committed by 60 Minutes and CBS, together with the Democrat Party, is the single Biggest Scandal in Broadcast History!” on his Truth Social account.
Donald Trump, who is also running for president, reportedly chose to cancel his scheduled 60 Minutes interview.
Kamala Harris Polls
According to The Independent, Harris has a +2.5 point lead over Trump. This average comes from national polls.
This seems to be an incredibly close race between the two. Trump is reportedly gaining support, but neither candidate has a clear lead in the swing states. The election is just a few weeks away, so it will be a close race to the finish line.
