URGELY. >> I WANT TO JUST BREAK IN HERE
WITH SOME NEW NEWS THAT WE’VE
JUST RECEIVED THIS MOMENT.
KAMALA HARRIS, FORMER UNITED
STATES SENATOR AND PRESIDENTIAL
CANDIDATE, HAS ENDORSED JOE
BIDEN FOR PRESIDENT.
SINCE I’VE GOT THE THREE OF YOU,
STAY HERE AND WATCH THIS WITH
ME.
ME. WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT ON THE
OTHER SIDE.
OTHER SIDE. >> HEY, EVERYBODY.
SO I’M HERE IN ALABAMA.
I ARRIVED HERE TO COMMEMORATE
THE 55th ANNIVERSARY OF BLOODY
SUNDAY.
SUNDAY. I’LL BE WALKING ACROSS THE
EDMUND PETTUS BRIDGE WITH JOHN
LEWIS AND SO MANY GREAT, GREAT
LEADERS AND FIGHTERS.
AND, YOU KNOW, I’M JUST HERE
THINKING ABOUT ALL OF THE FOLKS
WHO, FOR GENERATIONS, HAVE
FOUGHT AND DIED FOR OUR CIVIL
RIGHTS AND FOUGHT TO HELP OUR
NATION AKREEFB ITS IDEALS.
AND YOU GUYS KNOW, WE STILL HAVE
YET TO ACHIEVE THOSE IDEALS.
BUT ONE OF THE GREATEST THINGS
ABOUT US IS WE ARE WILLING TO
FIGHT TO GET THERE.
SO I JUST WANTED YOU GUYS TO
KNOW, BECAUSE YOU HAVE BEEN
SUPPORTING ME FOR SO LONG.
AND I JUST WANTED YOU GUYS TO
KNOW, I HAVE DECIDED THAT I AM
WITH GREAT ENTHUSIASM GOING TO
ENDORSE JOE BIDEN FOR PRESIDENT
OF THE UNITED STATES.
I BELIEVE IN JOE.
I REALLY BELIEVE IN HIM.
AND I HAVE KNOWN HIM FOR A LONG
TIME.
TIME. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE NEED
RIGHT NOW IS WE NEED A LEADER
WHO REALLY DOES CARE ABOUT THE
PEOPLE AND WHO CAN THEREFORE
UNIFY THE PEOPLE.
AND I BELIEVE JOE CAN DO THAT.
I AM SUPPORTING JOE BECAUSE I
BELIEVE THAT HE IS A MAN WHO HAS
LISKD 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.
THERE IS SO MUCH AT STAKE IN
THIS ELECTION, GUYS.
SO JOIN ME IN SUPPORTING JOE,
AND LET’S GET THIS DONE.
AND COME AND HANG OUT.
WE’LL BE IN DETROIT MONDAY
NIGHT.
NIGHT. JOIN US MONDAY NIGHT.
I’LL SEE YOU LATER.
>> KAMALA HARRIS ENDORSING JOE
BIDEN.
BIDEN. MY GUESTS ARE WE ME.
I WANT TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF
THIS CONVERSATION.
THIS CONVERSATION. JOSHUA, HER SUPPORT NUMBERS WHEN
SHE DROPPED OUT WHICH WAS SOME
TIME AGO WERE FAIRLY LOW.
THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT
WHERE THEY DIDN’T GO.
BUT THE ENDORSEMENT DIDN’T
MATTER AS MUCH THEN BECAUSE SHE
DIDN’T HAVE A BIG FOLLOWING.
BUT THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO
REALLY BELIEVED THEY WANTED TO
SEE HER AS THE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES.
UNITED STATES. SHE HAD GOD POLICY
PRESCRIPTIVES.
PRESCRIPTIVES. SHE WAS THE ONE THAT TOOK THE
FIRST SWIPE AT JOE BIDEN AT THE
DEBAITSZ AND LOOKED LIKE HE
MIGHT HAVE BEEN MORTAL.
SHE GOT A SPIKE OUT OF THE FIRST
DEBATE AND WASN’T ABLE TO HOLD
IT.
IT. BUT KAMALA HARRIS HAS PROVED
HERSELF SOMEWHAT INFLUENTIAL.
TELL ME WHAT THIS MEANS?
>> A FEW THINGS I HEARD FROM
THAT TAPE, ONE, SHE IS IN SELMA
FOR THE ANNIVERSARY OF BLOODY
SUNDAY.
SUNDAY. WE COVERED IT LAST -- THAT WAS A
POLITICAL EVENT THAT HAD BEEN
MOVED UP IN THE CALENDAR.
IT WAS ACTUALLY ON MARCH 7th,
TODAY IS THE 8th.
>> BECAUSE THERE WERE SEPARATE
EVENTS HA LED UP TO THE FINAL
MARCH ACROSS THAT BRIDGE WHICH
RESULTED IN THE BEATING OF THE
MARCHERS.
MARCHERS. >> AND THE ORGANIZERS SAID WE
WANT TO DO THIS BEFORE SUPER
TUESDAY.
TUESDAY. THEY DID THAT ON PURPOSE.
ALSO I THINK THE FACT THAT SHE
WHO IS A BUY RACIAL WOMAN IS
MAKING THAT BEFORE TUESDAY,
BECAUSE MISSISSIPPI’S ELECTORATE
IS ABOUT 70% BLACK.
AFTER THAT YOU’VE GOT GEORGIA
VOTING, WHICH HAS A SIGNIFICANT
BLACK POPULATION.
BLACK POPULATION. SHE TALKED ABOUT UNIFYING
PEOPLE.
PEOPLE. THAT’S ONE OF THE ISSUES BERNIE
SANDERS IS GOING TO HAVE TO
CONTEND WITH.
CONTEND WITH. HE DID NOT DO GREAT IN MICHIGAN.
THERE ARE A NUMBER OF STATES
COMING UP THAT HE EITHER DID NOT
DO GREAT IN OR GOT SMACKED IN.
FLORIDA, HE LOST TWO TO ONE.
SO THE FACT THAT SHE’S SAYING
THIS NOW, SAYING WE’LL BE IN
DETROIT, COME SEE US, MICHIGAN
IS COMING UP, AND SHE IS A
BIRACIAL BLACK WOMAN WHO HAS
ENDORSED A WOMAN STRONG WITH
BLACK VOTERS, STRONG WITH BLACK
VOTERS.
VOTERS. >> DOESN’T NECESSARILY EQUATE TO
ENTHUSIASM WITH BLACK VOTERS?
>> RIGHT.
>> RIGHT. AND THAT WAS THE CASE WITH A LOT
OF THE STATES ON SUPER TUESDAY,
BEFORE SUPER TUESDAY INCLUDING
SOUTH CAROLINA, WHEN WE POLLED
SKANS ABOUT THE CANDIDATES AND
ASKED WHO ARE YOU ENTHUSIASTIC
AND COMFORTABLE WITH?
MANY OF THEM SAID THEY WERE
ENTHUSIASTIC OR COMFORTABLE WITH
JOE BIDEN BUT FOR ALL THE
