Here are the main points:
Policy
She is going to implement her plan regarding an "opportunity economy." This includes bringing down the cost of everyday goods and extending the child tax credit to $6,000. She is also focusing on investing in small businesses and addressing the cost of housing (which includes a tax credit of $25,000 for first-time home buyers). You can find out more about her opportunity economy here:

She confirms that she does not want to ban fracking, and she will not do so as president. This is a change from her previous stance, although she claims she has not changed her values and her determination to create a green economy.
Madam Vice President has also vowed to address illegal immigration and she plans to increase the number of border patrol agents.
Personal Life
Kamala spoke a bit about old man Joe Biden. She doesn't regret endorsing him and claiming that he is fit to serve another four years in office. She is also proud to have served as his Vice President. She also discussed when she discovered that old man Joe Biden is dropping out of the race. It was a Sunday and she was spending time with her family. Just as they were sitting down to do a puzzle, old man Joe Biden called and announced that he is pulling out of the race. She didn't have to ask for his endorsement.
She didn't have much to say regarding Trump's attack on her race. He argued that she is claiming Blackness for political reasons. Kamala claims that Trump is using the "same old tired playbook".
Lastly, she spoke about the viral image of her and her grand niece. She says she was deeply touched by it, and that it was very humbling.
Public Reception
Ben Shapiro describes it as a "car crash interview" and he argues that it was boring and not a lot happened.
Sky News also gave a scathing reaction, claiming it wasn't an interview but a campaign ad instead. It is described as a "promo puff piece".
Not all reactions have been negative. You can see this on Reddit where user /u/Buttfulloffricks argues that Kamala knocked it out the park.
/u/flyoverliberal claims the following: "Lots of pointless gotcha questions instead of actually seeking information. Harris and Walz did well."
In a thread created by /u/ac_slater10, the user gives the overall interview a B+.

Conclusion
I'll be honest - I think it was a softball interview, and they didn't ask enough hard questions. It started off well but went downhill quickly. There is some merit to calling it a puff piece. Nevertheless, I'm glad that they spent time discussing policy, especially regarding creating a green economy. I'll give the overall interview 7/10 Hollys.

reddit might as well be DNC headquarters. Nobody on there will give an honest opinion about any of this anymore than sky news or the manlet in chief.
Anything with her personal life is irrelevant to the job and her economic polices are abhorrent and r-slurred. You really shouldn't need to know anything else no matter how much an uphill battle she would have implementing her r-slurred ideas they are some of the worst ideas anyone has had ever.
