and michael lee and black before we sign off here are a few more stories we're watching new york man picks the worst possible day to start reading the new york times isn't a big deal. he thought it would be the world's worst clark kent television shows now i'm really and i'll see you all next week for another episode of have i got news for you?

anderson cooper: welcome to the whole story. i'm anderson cooper. after vice president kamala harris became the democratic nominee, she launched an aggressive campaign >> welcome to the whole story. i'm anderson cooper, after vice president kamala harris became the democratic nominee, she launched an aggressive campaign to re-introduce herself to the country. but with the election looming, many remain undecided and are looking at where harris stance on the issues that matter to them before casting they are balanced. over the next hour, cnn's audie cornish looks at harris's record and her promises on five key issues in this election reproductive rights immigration, foreign policy, the state of democracy. and one that most american side is their top priority, the economy biden announced his decision to drop out of the

president in delaware headquarters building up the middleclass will be a defining goal of my presidency in her first interview as candidate, she doubled down on that commitment. >> if you are elected, what would you do on day one in the white house? >> first and foremost, one of my highest priorities is to do what we can to support and strengthen the middle class. >> and when harris gave her first policy speech, that too was centered on the economy. >> as president, i will be laser-focused on creating opportunities for the middle-class that advanced their economic security, stability, and dignity. >> biden campaign was focused on economic data that showed overall growth. the idea was that voters just weren't getting the message. the harris version of the campaign took a

different tack emphasizing cost like health care. >> i'll take on the issue of the cost of health care, housing, provide first-time home buyers with $25,000 to help the down payment on a new home. >> and in raising a family $6,000 in tax relief to families during the first year of a child's life. >> with publicans hammered her on the costs of her proposals. >> this is absolute socialism. >> all of these ideas are very inflationary but harris is following the lead of progressive lawmakers who blamed companies reaping post pandemic profits to republicans. the plan sounds like government overreach economic experts are skeptical as well there is not great economic evidence thus far that the bulk of the inflation we have seen or anywhere close to it is caused by corporate

profiteer democrats seemed happy to embrace the new language probably harris has articulated a very important plan to make sure that we are lowering costs for everyday americans. >> you think it's smart policy, governor, any effort we make to keep more money in americans pockets is worth walk in the path. >> when we think about young folks and what is top of mind for them, it's the cost of their groceries and they're gas and childcare. >> when we're talking about the middle-class, i think that the vice president thinks about her own family. >> i grew up in a middle-class household for most of my childhood. >> we were renters my mother's saved for well, over a decade to buy a home. >> how do you describe her political personality, care? it centers around care. she has the skills of a prosecutor. she knows how to analyze the facts facts, put together, the case,

but her case starts with the care of others. >> vice president harris has made a focus of championing what we might call the care agenda pushing these that were part of president biden's proposals early on. >> our build back agenda which will cut the cost of childcare by more than half extend the child tax credit and expand paid leave. but also things like medical debt relief, student debt relief, helping smaller businesses, minority-owned businesses, get better access to capital. >> we have secured tens of billions of dollars followers and private sector investment for small businesses and communities across america. >> things like supporting phillip class families and kind of creating the infrastructure of support around them. >> and a lot of her work also has been designed to help not only families with children, but those who are responsible for the caregiving seniors. and people with disabilities she talks about the sandwich

economy. >> people who take care of their children, and people who take care of their aging parents. that's always been something of a focus for her when she was attorney general, her mother was diagnosed with cancer i spent many hours with her at the hospital fortunately, however, i had the type of job then where i could take the time i needed to be with my mother, but far too many others cannot harris economic agenda for 2024, it would have a lot of those same care economy components but the vice president must convince voters she is better equipped on this issue than the business my detroit and so the challenge will be can she get them to be more confident and how she would be as an economic policy steward, biden administration feels like it has a good economic story to tell and vice president harris was part of that they did after all, defy economists predictions of a full-on recession and by many

measures, the u.s. pandemic recovery was among the strongest in the world. >> they wanted to tout the economic numbers that they think are good. >> but that didn't help americans stuck on the numbers that we're not so good in 2022, inflation reached a 40 year high, and the current administration has battled to bring it down. there are many economists who lay the blame, at least in part, on the historic and expensive legislation passed by the biden-harris administration in the aftermath of the pandemic, when trump left office the placer weight was one-and-a-half percent. and then 18 months later after biden and harris spent $5 we add 9% inflation rate. >> i think there are some economists who argue that it was still a mistake because of the additional contribution it had to inflation. and inflation is definitely a huge vulnerability for her, especially as she tries to run on the biden white house record. one republicans are seizing on vice president harris was the deciding vote on

the american rescue plan and also the inflation reduction act that led to inflation going up more than 20.1%. >> the economy was certainly biden's biggest weakness the question will be whether harris receives the same level of blame for inflation. >> what will be seen from vice president harris far as an effort to vote both project optimism about the economy and pride in the policies you have done. >> we were facing. one of the worst economic crises in modern history and today, by virtually every measure, our economy is the stronger just in the world while also empathizing with voters feeling their pain for high prices still, we know that many americans don't yet feel that progress in their daily lives is a very difficult balancing act, but she's been trying to navigate that in the time since her campaign started

up next, the leak decision of dobbs changed. i think the trajectory of her vice presidency. >> women in america no longer have a constitutional right to an abortion when we say how dare they now and we're gonna say this is where everything changed this guy who would like revolutions music could make a difference. >> the world fundamentally changed undermined him america fell. >> re, 2010s have ushered in test, buckle up there's toothpaste white and there's chris 3-d white strips, wife

widens like a $400 professional treatment or not crest vaporize that sore throat. >> they buckle drops its sore throat relief for the rest of fixed vapors v6 people, cool drops. >> the first bill is subway has never been easier just by inner foot long and out, get another free donor hard part is telling travis he doesn't get the second foot long, waits seriously. i've got you next time, buddy orna now in the subway we all need fiber for our digestive health, but less than 10% of us get enough each day. >> good thing meta missile gummies are an easy way to get prebiotic plant-based fiber for the same amount of fiber as two cups of broccoli meta missile gummies. the easy way to get your daily fiber

the dobbs decision was really an earthquake inside the white house not just a draft. we believe this is a roadmap for how they decision of dobbs changed. i think the trajectory of her vice presidency in may of 2022 politico published a leaked draft of a supreme court opinion, not just any opinion it was dobbs versus jackson women's health organization the decision to overturn roe versus wade. >> i think everybody remembers where they were when they saw the actual words come down president harris was outraged. >> the vice president was due to speak that night at emily's list. one of the big political groups in the country that focuses on women and reproductive rights as the vice president began talking through

what her concerns were at some point, she started to go into a riff. now a rough lead to how dare they do this, how dare they come from women's rights? how dare they change this law? >> those republican leaders who are trying to weaponize the use of the law against women well we say how dare they. >> she gets up on that stage and she absolutely just blows the house down. out. >> they tell a woman what she can do and cannot do with her own body and, it felt like a shift in the room. this incredibly focused person, this credibly focused politician, who used fighting these, restrictions on abortion as her north store it's interesting to me that she would embrace this, not for just the obvious reasons of being a woman politician, et cetera. but

it's right at the moment when in some states, abortion would be criminalized specifically, right? now, it makes sense that the prosecutor wants to jump in, the rolling back of roe was an abject attack on people, women who actually needed to get reproductive kieran. so her comments about how dare they the rejection of this sentiment that other people, men can make decisions about what rights women have about their own bodies and so when those rights were stripped away, of course, the prosecutor in her showed up. >> that's the place we're her go mind when he kicked in and she saw how the implication of this decision would go into so many other areas of americans lives that maybe most people didn't anticipate a majority of five justices overturned the landmark roe versus wade decision a month later, the concern majority on the supreme court officially overturned nearly 50 years of federally

protected access to abortion. the historic nature of today's five to four decision by the court's conservatives cannot be emphasized enough. >> she immediately got on the road after dobbs meeting with lawmakers, meeting with providers she met with faith leaders. she talked to college presidents. you talked a student government leaders. she was the hub for all these different groups that we're thinking about these questions, the statement has been made that the government has a right to come in your home until you a woman. and as a family, what you should do with your body vice president harris was betting the issue would grab the attention of voters. >> others weren't so sure she sees. >> the last supper panels of cable news pundit saying it's the economy poll after poll says that the economy will motivate a red wave, red wave, or red tsunami in the midterm elections. and what she says is, i am talking to people every day about this, and i

know that abortion rights is top of mind for them. >> you really saw her for the first time in her vice presidency meaningfully trust her own instincts, and it's not a surprise that everywhere that reproductive freedom was on the ballot, we won the abortion rights side has won every single time because people across the political spectrum codify roe, people across geographies fundamental rights at people across faith, without having the religious beliefs of others for step on her and generations were outraged the vice president traveled the country on what she called a fight for reproductive freedoms tour harris is believed to be the first sitting vice president or president to visit an abortion clinic. >> visiting a clinic that's something politically that was seen as like a fascinating moment. yeah. >> and she also took the message into those suburban areas that we typically don't go into with her on that tour. >> her future running mate,

minnesota governor tim walz. walz really impressed her by being by her side in that moment. and so i think it is a doubling down on the understanding that this campaign is in so many ways about reproductive rights we trust women to know what is in their best interests and not have literally on the ballot. >> and so for a lot of people, that is going to be just as motivating for a reason to come to the polls as anything else recent polling says two-thirds of americans oppose the supreme court's decision on abortion if elected, vice president harris is promising to secure federal abortion protection in congress passes that bill to restore reproductive freedom, as president of the united states, i will proudly sign it into law. >> but it's not when congress

passes the bill. it's if, even if democrats won both the house and the senate again, they'd need 60 votes, shoot across whatever thresholds required, right, to escape a filibuster what are more realistic expectations for what they harris presidency would do on abortion rights? >> i think the realistic expectations have to be the restoration of the rights of roe. it is realistic for women to expect that they can make their own health care decisions i believe that if kamala harris wins, we will likely have the votes in the senate to change the rules in order to codify roe versus wade. and i think the vast majority of americans will demand, will demand that the senate change the rules is this an issue she can run from? >> i don't think it's an issue. she can run from immigration. is the most

difficult issue for her >> at the news of the week and ask questions like, what does the comedy show doing on cnn that's too much i want donald now can you slice that they're nobody got news for you? >> saturday at nine on cnn, any backs don't care information looking for a moisturizer that does more than just moisturize, try ole regenerate for ten benefits and every jar ole visibly firms lists and smooths wrinkles by penetrating the skin to boost regeneration at the surface cellular level, trial okay, l.a secret for staying fresh in the afterlife i use secret whole body deodorant. does it leave a residue actually goes on clear with no embarrassing white mark. you're a lifesaver. well, though, it's too late for that in harbor freight, we design and test our own tools and sell them directly to you

2019 in her first run for the white house, immigration was unavoidable when you become president would you be committing to close the immigration detention centers absolutely. on day one and remains. >> so as joe biden's running mate and we were when joe and i are like, get rid of any policy that is about separating children from their parents presidency with a series of executive orders that addressed trump era policies, including halting border wall construction and preserving the program, shielding from deportation undocumented immigrants who arrived as children but soon after grappling with a surge of unaccompanied in minors at the u.s.-mexico border only months after president biden took office and many of those miners

were from honduras, el salvador, and watermelon and there was some evidence that reversing these trump policies helped create the border surge biden decided vice president harris could lead a diplomatic approach. >> her assignment reach out to central american countries directly. >> she was in a meeting with several high-ranking officials, including joe biden himself, and she very cogently, it was outlining idea she had for alleviating some of these root causes. and joe biden hears her and says well, why don't you take that on? that sounds great. >> there's no better trying to work and i thank you, mr. president, and for having the confidence in me and there's no question that this is a challenging situation. >> border issues were a key feature of harris's political upbringing in california. >> we've heard her talk about what she was attorney general, and she would go down to the

border. she went into the some of the tunnels that existed where people were smuggling goods how she prosecuted people who are gun runners and human traffickers in 2016, a newly elected senator harris said it would be a priority you say immigration reform and legalization for people who are here but the most successful vice presidential assignments are discrete, achievable projects with clear markers of success and u.s. >> immigration policy has long been a story of incremental steps. >> and one source i spoke with said, ultimately the bottom line that was that instead of looking at it just holistically as developing an entire region it was wiser and ways to be very targeted and to use the private sector and get their investments and commitments to the region to try to create jobs, bolster the economy than later focus on governance of countries two again, build opportunity for people in the

region so that they didn't feel like they needed to come to the u.s.-mexico border to achieve stability. >> so she went out and built a public private partnership. she convinced 50 companies to spend 5 billion in economic development in central america over one million people had been brought into the formal financial economy, including 65,000 people who now have bank accounts because of our work and for more million people are now connected to the internet. her first official trip abroad as vice president guatemala in june of 2021. she talked about the role of women and economic development. there but harris also delivered a stark message. >> i want to be clear to folks in this region who are thinking about making that dangerous trek to the united states, mexico border do not come

will continue to enforce our laws and secure our border do not come, do not come what was her reaction to how that was received it wasn't real receive coming from the daughter of immigrants and a black woman. so that was a moment in which i think we realize that okay we have to talk about these things differently, although it's the company line. >> we can't toe that line in the same way that joe biden can with desperate images on the nightly news of migrant caravan marches and family families camped out on the u.s.-mexico border vice president harris sat down for an interview on nbc news with lester holt to assure the country the administration was taking action, we put a button. okay.

do you have any plans to visit the border? >> i'm here in guatemala today at some point we're going to the border. we've been to the border. so this whole, this whole, this whole thing about the border. we've been to the border we've been to the border. >> you haven't been to the border? >> i and i haven't been to europe and i don't i don't understand the point that you're making. i'm not i think it was a bad interview. >> it was clear with a very bad interview, she didn't achieve what you wanted to achieve at the time. >> like when you were watching it, did you think oh absolutely. >> yeah. i mean, absolutely. >> she made some mistakes. one and claiming that she had been to the border when she had not at that stage, and they played into a lot of republican arguments that were saying that i normally work democrats not acknowledging the crisis. they were unwilling to do anything about it mounting, harris made her first

into this day only visit to the southern border as vice president the president and i are absolutely committed to ensuring that our immigration system is orderly and humane by now, the data showed what border states already knew. the administration faced in unprecedented surge of migrants crossing the border. >> so as for years with the people we were seeing at the u.s.-mexico border came from three countries. i'll salvador, honduras, guatemala. >> suddenly, we were seeing them from all around the world and all across the western hemisphere. to underscore that crisis, republican governors like greg abbott of texas, hit on the idea of giving one-way bus ticket to democratic cities and notably to the vice president's house at the u.s naval observatory in washington, dc. >> i was actually with her husband, doug emhoff and we were at an event where he was getting his covid booster and

out of nowhere they tell us, hey, he's going to talk about the migrant issue. >> yeah, i do have reaction. i think it was shameful these are a human being. they're using people as pawns for political stops it brought an issue that up until this point, had really been on u.s.-mexico border to cities across the country, i think from that moment forward. >> and of course that coincided with the midterm elections in 2022 really made democrats, i think a lot more conservative on border issues. and specifically on asylum to that end, president biden and vice president harris supported negotiations on a senate bill that would among other things give the president far reaching powers to restrict migrant crossings. >> can you share an anecdote, any kind of story about her involvement in the negotiations for that bill? >> what a moment when i was wondering whether my party's

leadership was going to get my back if i negotiated a bill that was maybe tougher than what democrats had been willing to agree to before she called me, got me on the phone and said, don't worry, the president and i are gonna have your back the negotiations were bipartisan leading a republican senator to share some optimism through, but i do feel very positive about it because even the initial feedback has been good but ten days later, and just four republicans ultimately voted for it republicans block the bill at the behest of former president donald trump. a lot of the senators are trying to say respectfully, they're blaming going to me, i said that's okay. please blame it on me. >> please under president biden, there would be no comprehensive solution so what would a president harris do differently? so i think there are a couple of ways that we can look at her policies on

immigration and they're in line with what president biden has already done, which just in comparison are far more strict, far more right-leaning then anything that she proposed or was in favor of in 2019 as president, i will bring back the border security bill that donald trump killed. and i will sign it of her expect that immigration is going to be top of mind for her if she were to win in november heritage as a nation of immigrants and reform. our broken immigration system to citizenship and secure our border

prisoners always an important foreign policy job harris on the world stage russia will plead ignorance and innocence class president will be slogan, wow, working on campaign posters yet, well, in my experience, the best campaign slogans are short and memorable like well that's definitely memorable pro verizon. >> apple intelligence is pretty awesome. hey, you can get it when you trade in any phone

management fee structured, so we do better when our clients do better, we're more different than i thought at fisher investments work clearly different >> let's call it that one. >> sometimes it takes a different approach to see the possibilities all around you flex path format, you can pursue a business degree on your terms and use the skills you learn right away. a different future is closer than you think with capella university. >> i love that my daughter's still needs me. what sometimes a.i. can help due to burning and stabbing pain in my hands so why use nerve vi nerve is clinical dose of ala reduces nerve discomfort and has little effect evan days of now i can help again. >> you the difference with nerves five

three-to-one, three-to-one. now, i hanako montgomery in tokyo and this is cnn

solemnly swear when harris was sworn in as vice president, she didn't have much experience in terms of foreign policy this is someone who only spent a short time in the senate and spent a lot of that time running for president but one thing that's changed over the last four years has harris has tried to make foreign policy a big focus of her tenure as vp. the first year, we were very intentional about building out her foreign policy portfolio. well, yeah, there was at her direction. in fact the good thing to the president's credit is you wasn't selfish about it. he shared she spent every morning with him and the president she'll briefing being vice president is always an important foreign policy job also, being vice president for joe biden. >> to this is a presidency where the white house dominates foreign policy decision-making.

>> and so kamala being in the white house and being close to and aligned with that process actually matters a lot the white house dispatched vice president harris to more than 20 countries across central america, europe, africa, and asia. >> she met with more than 150 world leaders. she was put in front of some of the most pressing global challenges but it didn't get much attention back home between news of the republican primaries, donald trump's criminal trials, and the hailstorm of criticism of her handling of the southern u.s border her foreign policy efforts flew under the radar let's look at the munich security conference, for example i don't get to appreciated by many americans just how essential her role was at that conference widely seen as a sign of confidence president biden assigned harris to lead the u.s. delegation at the influential munich security

conference. three years in a row, was an enormous amount of exposure. >> it's a big deal and i probably learn more about global security with three intense days in munich that i can get almost anywhere else i can go harris is first appearance in munich was in february of 2022. this is a dynamic situation and will require us to be in constant contact. >> it was just days before president vladimir putin launched russia's illegal invasion into ukraine. it proved to be one of harris is most consequential meetings abroad. >> it was the moment when president zelenskyy of ukraine was still really not taking serum firstly, the idea that imminence of a russian invasion. and kamala harris goes and sits down with him and presents to him our intelligence in a one-on-one meeting and says, you need to take this seriously. and she's really the last major american boys that he hears before that invasion happens. in terms of

his own preparation russia will plead ignorance and innocence. it will create false pretext for invasion later when russia escalated that land war, she expressed unwavering support for ukraine's embattled president zelenskyy we will be with you for as long as it takes but nearly three years after the conflict began, what would harris do if anything, differently to help steer that war to a close? >> should she take the reins from biden american voters, congress and many u.s. allies will no doubt be looking to harris to help turn the page and finally, bring an end to russia's war. >> i think that u.s. policy to ukraine is going to change i think what would be different is that trump would make those decisions unilaterally he would call putin. he would cause

zelenskyy, he wouldn't necessarily be taking advice and certainly not coordinating with all of the other allies kamala harris would be yeah, i'll said and u.s us, leaders as vice president, harris work to unite americans indo-pacific allies to fend off another prominent adversary, china in 2022, days after her first meeting with president xi jinping, harris spoke out against china's aggression in the south china sea from a philippine coast guard ship, the united states stands with the philippines in the face of intimidation and coercion and in 2023, she embarked on a multi-nation tour of africa, a continent where us foreign policy has recently seated influence to china and russia. many believe at its peril. >> i've been abroad with or at least twice. she is respected on the world stage evan

gershkovich is now on the ground i think we've all come to understand that exceptional historic prisoner exchange deal would not have happened if not for kamala harris's work the president deserves most of the credit, but some of those very difficult conversations, especially with the german chancellor, were not conducted by president biden, but by vice president harris nobody should be questioning whether she's ready to step up and help run the world on day one, she's been doing it side-by-side with president biden very effectively for the last four years, but without biden by her side, what would u.s. >> foreign policy look like under a kamala harris presidency? when she's no longer just implementing policy. but is instead creating it in the worst thing we could do is have the next president not reinvent parts of american foreign policy this is why it is important sometimes to have a generational shift in

leadership, especially when it comes to national security in one area where people perceive her to have kind of taken a forward position in the administration is in the area of the war that israel is prosecuting in gaza. what has happened in gaza over the past nine months is devastating not that they have a vast policy different, but that she talked about it differently. >> how do you see where she is now well, it takes us back to the interview with lester holt and lesson that came out of that is that you have room and space to carve out your own voice. >> and you have to, because there's a different expectation from you and that applies to the situation in gaza there's a different expectation for kamala harris and there is for joe biden in terms of tone, tenor, and message i mean, the fact that she came out and said, we

don't have a buy-in free choice here. gets back to her e, those which is i can see both people president biden and i are working to end this war such that israel is secure. >> the hostages are released, the suffering in gaza ends and the palestinian people can realize their right to dignity, security, freedom particular, or young activists of color thought that they saw commonalities of oppression, et cetera, when they looked at that issue so the challenge was, is, how do we address both of these? without compromising the other? and i think that's the message he was trying to convey. and i think that is the expectation of black people in general. and definitely of a black woman leader kamala harris understands that she is the next generation of leadership. she is not unwilling to challenge the

united states joe biden positioned himself as the guardian of democracy, protecting the country against a second trump administration. >> georgia is clear. donald trump's campaign is about him, not america, not you. he's willing to sacrifice our democracy put himself in power vice president kamala harris is continuing that theme. >> and uses trump's words to make her point the man has openly vowed, if reelected, that he will be a dictator on day one.

>> biden talks about the world in terms of democracies and autocracies, united states is determined to defendants transit in democracy. >> that's the good guys and they're a bad guy. >> right kamala harris, used the world much more through the lens of a prosecutor. she cares about laws. she cares about norms but when she first ran for the presidency, the former district attorney and california attorney general shied away if i'm her legal resume when she was running for president in 2019, 2020, it's a moment where prosecutors are not really resonating well with the democratic base do you have staffers around her say we've got to present your background in a way that doesn't feel off putting to an electorate that is really disillusioned by law enforcement right now a lot of times that translated to advice of don't talk about it at all.

she wasn't even willing to kind of call herself a prosecutor for years ago. and even though we know so that's a huge part of our career, i remember asking at the time, why don't you have a criminal justice plan that you'll lay out? why aren't you more willing to combat the criticisms from progressives, some of which you've been during for a lot of your career, not as if this answer wasn't something she's company trouble with. it was just an answer that when it came to the national stage she wasn't comfortable saying at that time, you had her get pushed and pulled in a lot of directions. i think that played out really publicly this time is different. >> i took on perpetrators of all kinds predators who abused women fraudsters who ripped off consumers scammers, who broke the rules for personal gain hear me when i say i know donald trump's tie but huge

part of this campaign has got to be her saying, i'm a prosecutor and i'm running against a felon. >> what we're seeing now is more of a willingness to own kind of the record that she's had throughout her career do you think that she is going to talk about the former president in the context of him being a threat to democracy. >> it feels like to me she's talking about it and not utilizing the word democracy, but she's starting to talk about it in the context of freedoms he's a threat to our freedoms, not just our democracy in this election many other fundamental freedoms are at stake. i think that this election the matchup between kamala harris and donald trump is still just as much about the future of our democracy chrissy, but i think when it comes to young people, they want to hear how this is going to affect their real lives. >> harris allies say that has always been a priority. while much of her vice presidential

portfolio was assigned to her by the president she saw one area as critical and requested to take the lead. >> voting rights is part of what has driven i think kamala harris is both his vice president and even before that, she was in the senate. >> the freedom to vote, to chose to be an advocate on democracy and voting rights very early, i think those are things that truly record present her record. >> we are forcefully working to pass the for the people act and the john lewis voting rights act. and working to help ensure that all americans know what they get when they vote to further encourage them to vote, knowing that it will make a difference in their lives. >> one reason i think vice president harris sought to take on voting rights as an issue is because she wanted a signature policy issue that related specifically to black communities and some of the groups that helped push the biden administration to choose her in the first place. but because of the realities of the senate and the house, it was never very likely to pass

despite an aggressive campaign from vice president harris and president biden, congress failed to pass the voting rights bills. >> the motion is not agreed to. >> so rather than being a signature accomplishment, i think the issue function in the first couple of years as a signature failure harris promises as president, she'll keep pushing when i am president, we are going to finally pass the john lewis voting rights act rights and democracy reform. and i think it's actually going to be essential that she run on that message. >> but passing any voting rights legislation likely comes down to winning both the house and the senate if those it's things don't happen, than the possibility of passage of things like voting rights completely evaporate. >> still as a candidate, harris is making voting rights. one of her signature issues. all while

some republicans are accusing her of subverting the will of voters our fellow americans after president biden's decision to pull out of the race over republicans have tried to frame the coronation of harris or her elevation as anti-democratic. we have somebody that hasn't received one vote for president, and she's running. >> they were even voices within the democratic party that speculated there should have been more competition for the nomination. >> i think going through some sort of a process would have been very enlightening. we need a fair, open, and democratic process. >> ultimately, i want the convention to decide this. >> it is my intention so out and earn this nomination and she did. >> harris locked up party support for the nomination in a matter of days she was able to turn would be rivals into people who supported her candidacy. >> i think people were honestly very surprised at how astute in a depth harris his team was in

creating not just that natural momentum, but making all of the democratic players come to her side, that it eliminates the idea that it was undemocratic kamala harris has evolved from an aggressive prosecutor to a 2020 presidential hopeful that failed to connect with voters to the entire career, i've only had one client, the people, kamala harris is hoping to convince voters. she is the best person to run present democracy as president of the united states in this country anything is possible
