Over the weekend, Vice President Kamala Harris said during an interview that Republican criticism of her was because her opponents are “scared” of her and the “merit of the work” that she has done. She was notably unable to point to the work she has done.
Harris, who polls as the worst-rated vice president in American history, made her comments during an interview with Margaret Brennan on CBS News’ “Face The Nation.”
Brennan pointed to the criticism from Republican presidential candidates who have warned that Harris would take over the presidency if something happens to President Joe Biden, who would be 86 at the end of a second term.
Brennan some of the following quotes from Republicans:
- Nikki Haley: “A vote for Joe Biden is a vote for a President Kamala Harris.”
- Chris Christie: “I want to be clear that I pray every night for Joe Biden’s good health, not only because he’s our president, but because of who our vice president is.”
- Ron DeSantis: “Harris is his impeachment insurance … people know if she were president – Katy bar the door. As bad as Biden did, it would get worse.”
Harris responded to the comments by claiming that the individuals making the remarks do not “actually have a plan for America.”
“Listen, this is not new. There’s nothing new about that,” she said. “They feel the need to attack because they’re scared that we will win based on the merit of the work that Joe Biden and I, and our administration, has done.”
