Key Takeaways: What You Missed from Harris’ NBC Interview

Ms. Jackson asked Harris if she had been honest about Biden when she supported his re-election bid.

“You never saw anything like that on closed door debate night with him?” Mrs. Jackson asked.

“It was a bad debate. People have bad debates,” Harris responded, referring to the Trump-Biden confrontation in June.

Ms. Jackson then continued, saying Biden’s poor debate performance was the reason Harris is now the Democratic party’s nominee.

“Well, you should ask him if that’s the only reason why (he resigned),” Harris said.

Ms. Jackson asked about Biden again.

“I’m running for president of the United States. Joe Biden is not – and my presidency will be about bringing a new generation of leadership to America,” Harris said.

She then vouched for the president’s political performance and leadership.

“I speak not only with sincerity, but with a true first-hand account of seeing him do this work. I have no hesitation in saying that,” she said.
