Vice Pres. Kamala Harris pushes back on reports she has not been effective in her role, telling GStephanopoulos: “We’re getting things done, and we’re doing it together.”
U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris told ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos that battling inflation and the rising cost of living is a top priority for her and the Biden administration.In an exclusive interview with"Good Morning America" Co-Anchor George Stephanopoulos, Vice President Kamala Harris defended her job performance, insisting she and President Joe Biden have been able to deliver for the American people.
Her chief spokesperson, Symone Sanders, pushed back on the depiction of Harris in the report, saying in a statement,"It is unfortunate that ... some in the media are focused on gossip -- not on the results that the President and the Vice President have delivered." Harris's team members echoed solidarity with their boss, saying they were"honored" and"proud" to work for her.
"It's real. And it's, it's rough. Groceries -- the cost of groceries -- has gone up, the cost of gas has gone up. And, as this is all happening, in the context of two years of a pandemic. Over 700,000 lives lost much less the loss of livelihoods and, and a sense of normalcy. So, it's a lot. And it's one of the highest priorities actually, for the president and for me," Harris said of the challenge inflation poses.
Harris responded,"So, here's the thing, talk tot 17 Nobel laureates who are economists, who actually have studied the issue and have indicated that we're not looking at a contribution to inflation, but actually we're going to bring prices down. In fact, today Moody's and a number of others have said, listen, when you look at the numbers, the whole point about inflation and why it hurts us is because prices go up.
