Oct 8, 2024, 04:09 AM

Vice President Kamala Harris, in October 2023 interviews on '60 Minutes' and the 'Call Her Daddy' podcast, stated that candidates must "earn" voter support and cannot take for granted that they can declare themselves a candidate and automatically receive support. When asked on '60 Minutes' if President Biden can complete his term, she mocked the question. She also faced challenging questions about the surge in illegal immigration. Harris has faced criticism for her performance in these interviews and for her comments.
