Former Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill recalled herself and other U.S. Senators "laughing" at then-vice president Joe Biden while questioning why Americans were so down on Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday.
McCaskill, now an MSNBC analyst after two terms as a U.S. Senator from Missouri, questioned Washington Post columnist David Ignatius on Wednesday about his lack of confidence in President Biden and Harris' 2024 candidacy. Ignatius made waves with his piece out Tuesday that said Biden and Harris shouldn't run again.
"Why is America down on her to the extent they are? Because she’s done nothing to deserve this," McCaskill argued.
"I remember us laughing sometimes at Joe Biden when he was vice president in the cloak room of the Senate. I mean I wasn’t laughing, sorry, Mr. President, but other people were kind of making fun of him. Al Gore, same thing. Dan Quayle, same thing. Vice presidents have a tough job. But why is America so convinced? I mean, this is a woman of great accomplishment… Why is this Kamala Harris a problem instead of an asset?" she asked Ignatius.
