Vice President Kamala Harris was confused by questions during an interview about whether the "narrative" surrounding President Biden's decision to choose her as his running mate in part because she was a Black woman really mattered.
The New York Times' Astead Herndon sat down with Harris for an interview in Chicago in August for the outlet's "Run Up" podcast that was published Thursday.
Herndon asked Harris about Biden's running mate selection in 2020. Biden committed to naming a woman as his running mate, but several prominent Democrats called on him to name a Black woman, and he noted during the run-up to his decision that Black women were among his finalists.
