He continued with the response, “Kamala Harris: “I can assure you that Joe Biden is very much ALIVE…[Cackles]”
Johnson then shared his own reaction to Harris’ statement, “WHAT!? 😬”
In an interview, Vice President Harris was asked by Whitaker, “We were talking to some Democratic donors and they have told us that should something befall President Biden, and he is not able to run, that there would be a free-for-all, for who would run as President.”
He continued, “You are in the spot, that it would be natural for you to step up, but we’re hearing from donors, that they would not naturally fall into line, why is that?”
Harris responded, “Well, first of all, I’m not going to engage in that hypothetical, because Joe Biden is very much alive and running for re-election.”
The reporter pre-emptively interrupted Harris, “But you do know that is a concern and a legitimate concern, I would say.”
“I hear from a lot of different people, a lot of different things, but let me just tell you, I’m focussed on the job, I truly am,” said Harris, and continued, “Our democracy is on the line, Bill. I frankly in my head, do not have time for parlor games, when we have a President who is running for re-election…that’s it.”
