Vice President Kamala Harris was asked by CBS’s Margaret Brennan if she was taking the threat of a second Donald Trump presidency seriously enough. Harris paused for two seconds before responding, “I don’t understand the question.”
Brennan then described Harris as “dismissive” of Republican criticism aimed at her and President Joe Biden. She also pointed to Trump’s performance in national polls, which have shown him either in a close race or leading Biden.
“When you look at current polling, the front-runner for the Republican nomination is the former president, the 45th president,” Brennan said to Harris.
Harris responded, “We will win reelection.”
Brennan tried to follow up, asking, “Do you feel —” but Harris cut her off, saying, “We will win, we will win reelection. There is too much at stake and the American people know it.”
