Vice President Kamala Harris expressed her concerns about the prospect of Donald Trump getting reelected, stating that she is “scared as heck” and believes everyone should share that sentiment. During an appearance on The View, host Joy Behar raised questions about the Biden-Harris campaign’s perceived complacency and challenges breaking through to Trump’s base.
Behar referenced comments from prominent figures like President Obama, Representative Jim Clyburn, and Michelle Obama, who have all expressed concerns about the state of the Democratic campaign. In response, Behar asked Harris about her own fears and what actions she plans to take to counter the potential return of “the crazies.”
Vice President Harris candidly replied, “I am scared as heck,” emphasizing the need for a proactive approach. She explained that she is traveling across the country and highlighted the saying that there are two ways to run for office: either without an opponent or scared. Harris affirmed that being scared is a motivator to fight back and emphasized the importance of not shying away from challenges.
Harris then redirected the conversation to her message for women and children, stressing the need to face fears head-on. She rallied the audience, stating that powerful women don’t run away when scared but instead fight back. Harris acknowledged the challenges of the upcoming election and emphasized the administration’s commitment to earning reelection by communicating their achievements and connecting with the public.
The Vice President listed the various states she has visited and outlined the administration’s strategy to engage with voters and convey their accomplishments. The conversation on The View highlighted the intensity of the political climate and the Biden-Harris administration’s proactive stance in the face of electoral challenges.
But as we know, and certainly this is a table of very powerful women. We don’t run away from something when we’re scared. We fight back against it. Right. Yeah. So many of us know when we are scared for the future of our children, do we then stay in bed with the covers over our head? Nope. No we can’t. We cannot. We cannot. And this is where this election requires brightly that President Biden and I and and all of us who are part of this administration, we got to earn reelection. There is no question. We got to be on the road. Listen, since the in the last two weeks I’ve been to Georgia, I’ve been to Nevada, I’ve been to North Carolina, I’ve been to South Carolina twice. In the first two weeks of this year, I will be out on the road. We have to earn the reelect and we have to communicate what we have achieved, and that is going to be one of our big challenges. We’ve done a lot of good work. We need to let people know who bring it to them.
