While the Democratic Party holds the majority control of the US Senate, the evenly divided chamber finds itself in a deadlock due to two centrist senators. During an interview with Charlamagne tha God, Vice President Kamala Harris pushed back and defended President Joe Biden when questioned who the real US leader is.
The host and the vice president engaged in what appeared to be a heated exchange when Charlamagne tha God questioned Harris who the real US President is between Biden and West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin. Harris pushed back, saying that the host should not repeat the peddled GOP talking point that would question if Biden is the actual US President. This comes as the Build Back Better bill is stalled in the Senate, where Manchin remains the holdout vote.
“It’s Joe Biden. It’s Joe Biden. And don’t start talking like a Republican about asking whether or not he’s president, it’s Joe Biden and I’m vice president. My name is Kamala Harris,” said Harris in a clip of the interview that is set to air this week.
Harris cited all the accomplishments of the administration so far and acknowledged the supposed “frustration” among the public who are not content with the achievements Harris has listed so far.
“Ok, so I hear the frustration, but let’s not deny the impact we’ve had and agree also that there is a whole lot more work to be done and it is not easy to do. But we will not give up and I will not give up,” said the vice president.
In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Harris admitted that the administration did not anticipate the Delta and Omicron strains of the coronavirus in their response to the pandemic. The US vice president added that she “underestimated” the role of misinformation in prolonging the pandemic in the country that has now reached an 800,000 death toll.
“We didn’t see Delta coming. I think most scientists did not – upon whose advice and direction we have relied – didn’t see Delta coming,” Harris told the paper. “We didn’t see Omicron coming. And that’s the nature of what this, this awful virus has been, which as it turns out, has mutations and variants.”
