Kamala Harris Speaks On International Women's Day
On Friday, March 8, not only did Kamala Harris speak on what International Women's Day means to the nation, but she also spoke with NBC News chief White House correspondent, Peter Alexander, to address the possibility of appearing at the election debates.
“On the one hand, you’ve got Joe Biden — someone who is competent, who is principled, who has accomplished more than many presidents even hoped for ... on infrastructure, on climate, on health care,” Harris said.
Adding, “On the other side of that split screen, you’ve got the former president, who glorifies dictators and has said he’ll be a dictator on day one. Someone who has said that he will weaponize the Department of Justice against his political enemies. Someone who said he’s proud of the fact that he had picked three members of the United States Supreme Court, who took a constitutional right from the women of America to make decisions about their own body.”
The Vice President concluded by telling Alexander, "The split screen is clear" and the choice of debating against Trump will be “decided upon soon.”
