CNN Host Asks Kamala Harris If She’s Worried About NEXT Jan 6 — When She’ll Be The One Certifying Trump/Biden Election
CNN host Laura Coates asked Vice President Kamala Harris if she’s worried about next January 6 — when she’ll be the one to certify results for another election — likely between President Joe Biden and ex-President Donald Trump.
On Monday night’s edition of CNN’s Laura Coates Live, Coates aired her exclusive interview with the VP, covering a wide range of topics that included the provocative question of how Harris will handle the Mike Pence role on the fraught fourth anniversary of the Capitol riot.
VP Harris warned against giving in to “intimidation”:
COATES: When you look ahead and you see what is coming down the road, particularly, you know, the next time of the calendar date is January 6th, Madam Vice President, the last time we saw an election year, presidential election year of a vice president overseeing certification of the election, we saw what transpired with our eyes. There is concern that many actually believe that we do not have free and fair elections in this country.
Do you have concerns about how to approach the certification process again on January 6th?
HARRIS: I think everyone is right to be vigilant in demanding that we maintain our democracy and we uphold its pillars, which includes the integrity of a free and fair election system.
And that means addressing, for example, the intimidation that has happened with poll workers. I was recently in Georgia speaking with poll workers who have been the subject of attack or are fearful of volunteering their time in our elections because they feel a sense of civic duty.
It’s important for all of us to stand and say we support people who do that work and they should not be attacked. It is important that we all remember that a hallmark of a democracy is civic participation, which means let’s all vote. I’m not telling you who to vote for —
COATES: Uh-hmm.
HARRIS: — but please, in the midst of all that you’ve got going on, take the time to fill out a ballot. If you can vote by mail, then send it in. Sometimes, you might have to stand for quite some time in line, but please do in spite of, again, in states like Georgia who pass laws that make it illegal to even give you food and water if you’re standing in line.
But it matters. It matters. And elections matter. The voice of the American people matters. And one of the ways that we all express our voice is through our vote.
