During an interview with 60 Minutes on Sunday, Vice President Kamala Harris spoke with Bill Whitaker about the Israel-Gaza War, the border crisis, and the upcoming presidential election.
Whitaker asked Harris about Democrats’ hesitance to embrace her as “next in line.”
“We were talking to some democratic donors, and they have told us that, should something befall President Biden, and he is not able to run, that there would be a free for all for who would run as president. You are in the spot that that would be a natural for you to step up. But we’re hearing from donors that they would not naturally fall into line. Why is that?” Whitaker asked.
“First of all, I’m not going to engage in that hypothetical because Joe Biden is very much alive and running for re-election,” Harris responded.
“But you do know,” Whitaker interjected. “I mean that is a concern, and a legitimate concern, I would say.”
“I hear from a lot of different people a lot of different things. But let me just tell you, I’m focused on the job. I truly am. Our democracy is on the line, Bill. And I, frankly, in my head do not have time for parlor games, when we have a president who is running for re-election,” Harris said.
After a lengthy pause, Harris posited, “that’s it.”
