Six weeks after Donald Trump's cringe-inducing appearance where he questioned her race, Vice President Kamala Harris sat down for an interview at the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) in Philadelphia.
The Vice President's appearance marks the first time in years that both the Democratic and Republican presidential candidates have accepted the NABJ’s invitation for an interview.
Of course, we know how that turned out for Trump.
The conversation with Vice President Harris was moderated by Gerren Gaynor, the White House correspondent and managing editor for politics for theGrio, Eugene Daniels, White House correspondent and co-author of Politico Playbook, and Tonya Mosley, a co-host of NPR’s Fresh Air.
After answering a question about the economy, the Vice President confirmed that she had spoken with her opponent following what appeared to be a second assassination attempt.
While no shots were fired at Trump, both President Joe Biden and Vice President Harris reiterated their stance that "political violence has no place in America."
VP Harris noted as part of her answer that she and her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz are both gun owners and that, ”we’re not trying to take any guns away from anyone, but we do need an assault weapons ban.”
Vice President Harris also spoke to the false rumor about Haitian immigrants in Ohio being spread by Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, calling it a "crying shame."
“I mean my heart breaks for this community,” VP Harris said, specifically citing how schools in Springfield had to be evacuated due to threats.
