Vice President Kamala Harris expressed concerns on Tuesday regarding the potential for November’s election to be conducted in a manner that is “free and fair.” She has not yet indicated whether she would endorse the certification of a Trump victory, despite her strong criticism of Republicans who contested President Joe Biden’s 2020 election win.
“Why are people acting like this is going to be a free and fair election and he won’t try to steal it?” Charlamagne tha God asked Harris.
Harris replied the election would only be “free and fair” if Americans “stand up for that.”
“It will be a free and fair election if we, the American people, stand up for that,” Harris said before delivering a word salad: “You know, I see it as this. I think that the democracy has it’s like two points of nature. One, there’s a fact about a democracy that when it is intact, it the strength that it possesses in terms of the protection of people’s individual rights and liberties. When a democracy is intact, we protect your rights and your liberties.”
Harris’s response follows a statement from leading congressional Democrats, who informed Axios on Thursday that they would refrain from pledging to certify the 2024 election should former President Donald Trump emerge victorious.
This reluctance to commit to certifying the election could expose several members to accusations of hypocrisy, including Jamie Raskin (D-MD), the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee and a former member of the January 6 committee, who expressed uncertainty to Axios regarding his willingness to certify a Trump victory.
