>>
>> I BELIEVE IN JOE.
I REALLY BELIEVE IN HIM, AND I
HAVE KNOWN HIM FOR A LONG TIME.
I AM SUPPORTING JOE BECAUSE I
BELIEVE THAT HE IS A MAN WHO HAS
LIVED HIS LIFE WITH GREAT
DIGNITY.
DIGNITY. HE IS A PUBLIC SERVANT WHO HAS
ALWAYS WORKED FOR THE BEST OF
WHO WE ARE AS A NATION, AND WE
NEED THAT RIGHT NOW.
GRIFF: MOMENTS AGO FORMER
DEMOCRATIC HOPEFUL KAMALA HARRIS
WHO FAMOUSLY ATTACKED JOE BIDEN
ON THE DEBATE STAGE NOW GIVING
HIM HER FULL ENDORSEMENT.
HERE TO REACT TO THIS BREAKING
NEWS, FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR, BYE
WITH RON YORK.
WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THE HARRIS
ENDORSEMENT, AND MY QUESTION
REALLY IS WHY NOW AND NOT BEFORE
CALIFORNIA VOTED?
CALIFORNIA VOTED? >> WELL, IT DOES RAISE A COUPLE
OF QUESTIONS.
OF QUESTIONS. REMEMBER KAMALA HARRIS SORT OF
MADE HER NAME IN THE DEMOCRATIC
PRIMARY PROCESS BY ATTACKING JOE
BIDEN.
BIDEN. REMEMBER THE I WAS THAT LITTLE
GIRL ATTACK ON BIDEN FOR
OPPOSING BUSING IN THE 1970s.
AND THAT REALLY WAS KIND OF A
BOOST FOR HARRIS’ CAMPAIGN FOR A
WHILE.
WHILE. SO SHE HAD REALLY MADE HER
REPUTATION AS TO OPPONENT TO JOE
BIDEN, AND YOU JUST MENTIONED
CALIFORNIA.
CALIFORNIA. WE JUST HAD CALIFORNIA ON SUPER
TUESDAY WHERE DEMOCRATS ACROSS
THE STATE VOTED FOR BERNIE
SANDERS.
SANDERS. THAT WAS HIS BIG VICTIM OF --
VICTORY OF THE WHOLE SUPER
TUESDAY, THE BIGGEST STATE IN
THE NATION.
THE NATION. SO NOW KAMALA HARRIS, STATEWIDE
ELECTED OFFICIAL IN CALIFORNIA,
COMES OUT AND ENDORSES JOE
BIDEN.
BIDEN. IT COULD BE AS SIMPLE AS
DECIDING TO GO WITH THE
WINNER --
WINNER -- GRIFF: RIGHT.
GRIFF: RIGHT. M.
M. >> AND NOW BERNIE SANDERS IS
BEING COUNTED OUT FOR DEAD JUST
AS JOE BIDEN WAS A FEW WEEKS
BACK.
BACK. GRIFF: LET’S GO JUST A TOUCH
DEEPER INTO THOSE DEBATE STAGE
ATTACKS YOU MENTIONED, BYRON,
THAT WHOLE ORIGINAL SPECTACLE
WITH BIDEN AND HARRIS WAS ABOUT
SEGREGATION AND, OF COURSE, SHE
WAS THAT LITTLE GIRL.
WITH BUT IT REALLY WAS BECAUSE
BIDEN HAD BEEN SAYING HE HAD THE
AFRICAN-AMERICAN VOTE LOCKED
DOWN.
DOWN. THAT WAS AN ATTEMPT, PERHAPS, TO
WEAKEN.
WEAKEN. AND NOW SHE HAS THESE VERY, YOU
KNOW, GLOWING REMARKS HOW
WONDERFUL JOE BIDEN IS.
WHAT DO YOU THINK HER INTENTIONS
ARE THERE?
ARE THERE? >> WELL, THAT’S POLITICS WHEN
YOU WITH ENDORSE SOMEONE.
YOU KNOW, A FEW WEEKS AGO YOU
WERE ATTACKING THEM, AND NOW
YOU’RE ENDORSING THEM IN GLOWING
TERMS.
TERMS. LISTEN, KAMALA HARRIS HAD HER
CHANCE TO MAKE INROADS WITH THE
AFRICAN-AMERICAN VOTE,
AFRICAN-AMERICAN VOTE, SPECIFICALLY IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
I SAW HER CAMPAIGNING IN SOUTH
CAROLINA LAST SUMMER TRYING TO
MAKE INROADS WITH THE
AFRICAN-AMERICAN VOTE, AND IT
JUST DIDN’T WORK, AND IT WORKED
SPECTACULARLY WELL FOR JOE
BIDEN.
BIDEN. THERE’S JUST NO DOUBT WHO WAS
THE WINNER ON THAT.
ING.
ING. GRIFF: DOES SHE MAKE HERSELF
MORE ATTRACTIVE AS A RUNNING
MATE PICK, PERHAPS?
>> ENTIRELY POSSIBLE.
AS YOU KNOW, GIVEN THE FACT THAT
BIDEN WILL BE 78 YEARS OLD ON
INAUGURATION DAY IF HE WERE
ELECTED, THE CHOICE OF A VICE
PRESIDENT IS GOING TO BE
ABSOLUTELY HUGE.
ABSOLUTELY HUGE. IN ADDITION, A NUMBER OF
DEMOCRATS ARE A LITTLE
EMBARRASSED WITH THE FACT THAT
THEY STARTED WITH THIS
EXTRAORDINARILY DIVERSE FIELD,
MEN, WOMEN, BLACK, HIS
PASSENGER, WHITE, GAY, THEY HAD
A VERY DIVERSE FIELD AND NOW
THEY’VE ENDED WITH TWO ELDER
ORALLY WHITE MEN, THEY’RE GOING
TO WANT TO BALANCE THE TICKET IN
SOME DEMOGRAPHIC WAY.
SO CERTAINLY, HARRIS WOULD BE
PART OF THAT EQUATION.
