MSNBC’s Craig Melvin played a clip of Biden recalling that former President Obama told him there wasn’t “a single important issue” they disagreed on. Asked if Harris fit the same description, Biden replied, “I think so,” but said he had not spoken directly to Harris on the matter.

“I have been focused 100 percent on this pandemic,” Harris said when asked if she had spoken recently with Biden.

“Obviously I would be honored if I were being considered, but I have to tell you right now my entire focus has been on what we need to do to get relief to Americans right now, because 22 million Americans as of today, just in the last few weeks, are unemployed. People are trying to figure out how to feed their babies and pay their rent,” she continued.

“I think what’s most important is that we all join together, that we unify the party, that we unify the country and that we elect Joe Biden because Donald TrumpDonald John TrumpSenate advances public lands bill in late-night vote Warren, Democrats urge Trump to back down from veto threat over changing Confederate-named bases Esper orders ‘After Action Review’ of National Guard’s role in protests MORE does not know how to do the job,” she added.
