Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) on Tuesday said that she believes the U.S. is "absolutely" ready for a woman of color to be president.
Harris made the remarks during an appearance on ABC's "The View" to promote her new memoir, "The Truths We Hold: An American Journey."
"Is this country, after what [President] Trump has unleashed and what we have seen, ready for the first woman of color president?" one of the show's hosts, Abby Huntsman, asked Harris.
"Absolutely," Harris said. "Listen — I’m not saying that about myself, but I am saying that about the capacity of the American public.
"We need to give the American public more credit," she said. "Give the people more credit. They are smarter than that."
