Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris said in an interview with CNN on Thursday that she has no regrets about defending Joe Biden's fitness to be president after he dropped out of the race.
CNN's Dana Bash said, “Vice President Harris, immediately after the debate, you were a very strong defender of President Biden's ability to serve another four years in office. You emphasized that President Biden is very strong given the current situation. Do you have any regrets about what you communicated to the American people?”
Harris said, “No, not at all. Absolutely not. I've worked with President Biden for almost four years, and I can say with confidence that it has been one of the greatest honors of my career. He cares so deeply about the American people. He is so smart, and he is loyal to the American people. And I've spent many hours with him in the Oval Office and in the Situation Room. He has the intellect, the responsibility, the judgment and the temperament that the American people deserve in a president.”
She continued, “In contrast, the former president has none of that. So, first, I'm incredibly proud to have served as Vice President under Joe Biden, and second, I'm incredibly proud to run for President of the United States alongside Tim Walz to give America what I believe the American people deserve, to chart a new path forward and put an end to the last decade that has been antithetical to the spirit of our country.”
Harris added, “History will have a lot to say about Joe Biden's presidency. History will show that in many ways it was transformative.”
