Before heading off to California, Vice President Kamala Harris took the opportunity to clarify a remark she made about President Joe Biden.
The remark she sought to clarify was made during an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash.
“Joe Biden is running for reelection, and I will be his ticket mate,” Harris said. “Full stop.”
Politico reported on Thursday that Harris “did something unusual” Wednesday afternoon and went to the back of the plane to talk to reporters.
White House aides told the pool reporter that the vice president wanted to clarify a remark she made to Bash.
“The president intends to run, and if he does, I will be his ticket mate,” Harris said.
She added, “We will run together.”
Politico explained this “could be what White House aides claim it is: a technical correction because Harris’s initial unambiguous present tense declaration about Biden running could trigger FEC fundraising rules.”
The report continues, “But Biden will be 80 in November, and prominent Democrats are on a hair trigger for any evidence that he might not run.”
