Vice President Kamala Harris made references to both Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley during a Martin Luther King Jr. Day speech in South Carolina.

Harris drew laughs by wondering aloud, “must I really have to say [the Civil War] was about slavery?” a reference to former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley failing to mention slavery when answering a question about the war’s causes. Haley later said she thought it was “a given” that slavery was the cause.
