Australia’s ABC to Air Exclusive Interview with Former U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris
Harris opens up about her 2024 campaign and sketches the future for the Democratic Party in an Australian-only broadcast
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) will air an exclusive interview this Wednesday with former U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris, marking her first detailed television sit-down in Australia since her 2024 presidential bid.
The interview is scheduled for 7 : 30 p.m. on ABC TV and ABC iView and will be hosted by veteran journalist Sarah Ferguson.
In a promotional clip released by the broadcaster, Harris is seen discussing the 2024 campaign — described as “the shortest and most consequential presidential campaign in modern history” — and reflecting on questions about President Joe Biden’s health and decision-making.
When Ferguson raises concerns about Mr Biden’s capacity, Harris replies bluntly: “He was not frail as President of the United States.”
The interview coincides with the publication of Harris’s memoir, “107 Days”, which chronicles the intense run-up to the nomination and campaign.
She is expected to offer candid commentary about the future of the Democratic Party, her own political trajectory and how the U.S. might reposition itself on the world stage.
The ABC said the feature would touch on behind-the-scenes moments from the campaign and ask Harris where she goes now — both personally and politically.
For an Australian audience it represents a rare insight into American politics from a former vice-president, and underscores the broadcaster’s commitment to high-profile global interviews.
As the broadcast approaches, industry watchers note the growing appetite in Australia for major international political interviews and the strategic value of U.S. politics to Australian viewers.
With Harris visiting the region on a book-tour schedule, the interview may also serve to deepen trans-Pacific engagement between American political personalities and Australian media platforms.
The ABC’s broadcast arrives amid heightened interest in global leadership transitions and the reshaping of the Democratic Party in Washington.
For Australian viewers, it promises a compelling mix of memoir, politics and insight into U.S. election dynamics — and marks one of the few times a crossing-continent interview has been tailored specifically for the Australian market.
