male announcer: today on "tamron hall," former presidential candidate senator kamala harris's solutions for the covid-19 crisis. celebrity chef carla hall with perfect bedtime snacks. a performance by reggae star shaggy. and what people are doing to help first responders. an all new "tamron hall" starts now. - welcome to "tamron hall," from my home. so every summer, the essence festival descends on the city of new orleans. more than 500,000 people attend this popular music festival, including myself. last summer there was record attendance. and i actually ran into senator kamala harris. i posted this moment, when she congratulated me

on giving birth to moses. now i bring this up because last week the essence festival was canceled, along with many other conventions, summer concert series, and large events in other cities. the essence festival alone provided hundreds of jobs and millions of dollars for the city of new orleans, and for the people who live there. that moment was such a reality check, the massive hit this pandemic will bring on the economy and people's ability to make money. senator kamala harris has been in washington working on legislation to help us get through the pandemic. she joins us now from her home in washington, d.c. senator, let me start with what i think people call conventional wisdom, here. you've talked to people, i've talked to people who say, "what do i do? it's a choice of work or health." and that's what they feel the options are, as we now pieces together, state-by-state. - this, tamron, is one of those moments where people need their government to work.

this is a moment of extreme crisis, and this is where the government is supposed to kick in to help people get through the national crisis. it should not be about individuals experiencing it. as a nation we are experiencing it, so as a nation we have to come to the aid of those who need help the most. which is why i'm still in d.c., because we need to get the folks who are unemployed, who are unable to work, the financial support they need to get through this crisis and then get back on their feet. that's why i'm arguing that credit card interest rates and penalties and fees should be suspended during this time, because so many people not having a regular source of income are going to be buying groceries on their credit cards, and they're not going to be able to pay those bills on time. these are the things that government needs to do, which is meet the needs of working families and support them in this crisis. again, a crisis not of their making.

- let's fast-forward to november. to your point, that will be the nation deciding which direction, which person they believe has their best interest at heart. wisconsin, the state officials there reporting seven people contracted coronavirus standing in the line to exercise the right to vote. do you believe, if we're now in the second wave of this virus, as some are expecting in the fall that we can carry on and have a general election where people can vote for the person they believe has their best interest at heart. - again, we need to be smarter and we need to be safer. i have the vote safe act. it's a number of things. it's to encourage, of course, vote by mail. i'm from the state of california, we have vote by mail. i want to say to everybody who doesn't have it, you will really enjoy it. you just sit down at your table with a cup of coffee

and figure out who you're going to vote for, and put that in the mail. it's really easy. for those states, or folks who don't want to vote by mail, we should have curbside voting. people should be able to drive up to the curb and vote and keep moving. we should make sure that we encourage states to start having a standard for what wait times should be. wisconsin, to your point, people are waiting in that line for 2 or 3 hours. people should not have to wait those amounts of time just to exercise their right as a citizen to vote. - if your bill does not pass, senator, and we are in november and we have, say, half the cases we have right now-- which would still be troubling-- do we go through with an election? the constitution and the complications there. granted, when the constititutin was written, there is not a pandemic that it already taken the lives of 40,000 people. can we follow through with that? - listen, first of all, there's a bit of confusion.

let's clear it up. the president does not have the power to change the election. it would have to be an act of the united states congress. i don't see that happening. based on where we are today, i believe the election will occur in november as we've planned. we have to put in place, then, an ability for people to be safe and vote. look what happened in wisconsin. we just learned seven voters in wisconsin have been diagnosed with covid-19. people shouldn't have to choose between their personal health and exercising their constitutional right as a patriot, to have their voice weigh in on who will be the next president of the united states. - senator, you obviously launched a very passionate campaign for president. we know that joe biden, the presumptive nominee, has indicated that his choice for vp will be a woman.

some people have now taken issue with that. they've thrown out names of governor cuomo, who has said he's not interested in the job. but it's a pledge vice president biden made. was it the right decision, to narrow it down to gender? - i'll tell you, to your point, tamron, i was a candidate for president, among the top five throughout the campaign. when i was asked who i would picture my vice president, i said back then i haven't decided yet who she'll be. [laughter] i'm not hatin'! [laughs] - let me get to the chase here. you know your name is on the short-list. i've read every answer you've given to the question as to whether or not you want to be the running mate for joe biden in the upcoming election.

you've said you need to focus on covid-19, the bill that you've proposed, and the fight ahead. what we know, at 5:00, covid-19 will not be gone by november. we will be dealing, if nothing else, with the massive economic pain that this pandemic has caused. you can do both at the same time. have your focus on fighting this pandemic, and getting the nation back on its feet, and also say you want to be the running mate for joe biden. so, i will ask you, are you the right person to be beside joe biden headed into november? - tamron, i cannot express enough how serious i am about the immediate need. we have to deal with the fact that we have over 800,000 people in america who have tested positive, and we still don't have enough tests out there.
