In a primetime spot on CNN Thursday evening, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz sat for their first interview together as the Democratic ticket, taking questions from anchor Dana Bash on a range of important issues, including their plans for day 1 if they win the race, the approach to the war in Gaza, and how Joe Biden passed the baton.

With just over two months until voters will head to the polls on 5 November - and even less time before some will mail in their ballots - the Democratic candidates for president and vice-president made good on a promise to speak more candidly about how they will tackle the US's most pressing problems.
