Pence: Harris as Biden’s VP confirms radical Left has overtaken Democratic Party

Published August 13, 2020 1:54am ET



Vice President Mike Pence said he’s eager to debate Sen. Kamala Harris, presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden’s running mate.

In a Wednesday interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, Pence reacted to Biden’s selection of Harris as his vice presidential candidate, saying it verifies the Trump campaign’s warning that Democrats are veering to the far-left.

“Joe Biden’s decision to add Kamala Harris to the ticket confirms everything President Trump and I have been saying, and that is that Joe Biden and the Democratic Party have been overtaken by the radical Left,” Pence said.

“Kamala Harris, like Joe Biden, supports higher taxes, socialized medicine, open borders, abortion on demand, and where Joe Biden said he’d be willing to cut funding to police, she said recently that she thought that we should reimagine the police in this country. And I just have to tell you. You know, I like the matchup. It’s on, Sean. I can’t wait to get back out there,” he continued.

Pence and Harris will face off in a vice presidential debate on October 7th at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, Utah.
