(OPINION) Vice President Kamala Harris told The View’s Joy Behar that she’s “scared as heck” and “we should all be scared” about the prospect of Donald Trump getting reelected by “the crazies.”
The Vice President finds herself and her running mate, President Joe Biden, very close to — and even behind — the former president in many reputable pools, which led Behar to ask about whispers about serious concern about the state of the Biden-Harris campaign among many Democratic heavy hitters.
“President Obama reportedly has said that he thinks the Biden campaign is too complacent when it comes to Trump,” she started. “Representative Jim Clyburn has said the campaign isn’t breaking through the MAGA wall. Michelle Obama says she’s terrified, as we are, about the potential outcome of the election.”
“Now, are you scared?” Behar asked. “What could happen if Trump ever became, God forbid, president again? And what are you going to do to stop the crazies?”
“I am scared as heck!” Vice President Harris flatly replied to an adoring audience. “Which is why I’m traveling our country.”
“You know, there’s an old saying that there are only two ways to run for office: Either without an opponent or scared,” she continued. “So on all of those points, yes, we should ALL be scared.”
