Vice President Kamala Harris was quick to respond when former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy criticized President Biden's age and suggested it would affect his negotiation skills. At the DealBook Summit, Harris took the opportunity to remind the public of McCarthy's recent political drama.
"With all due respect, when anyone who has had the experience McCarthy just had, I don't think he's a judge of negotiations," Harris said. She went on to explain that Biden is authoritative in various situations, both in the Oval Office and around the world.
McCarthy's comments about Biden came after he was ousted from his post as Speaker of the House in October 2020, following a vote by eight Republicans in favor of removing him. He had told journalist Andrew Ross Sorkin that he "could not negotiate the debt ceiling with Biden" and that the President wasn't "the same person he was when he was Vice President."
The former California state representative also declared that he would not support Biden in the 2024 presidential election, even if he were a Democrat.
Harris, however, is not worried by McCarthy's negative remarks. She pointed out that under Biden's presidency, unemployment rates have dropped to record lows, inflation has decreased, and the cost of insulin has gone down. She also said that there is still work to be done, as some Americans are still facing high prices.
