Shortly after she dropped out, he told reporters “of course” he would consider the senator as a running mate.
“Sen. Harris has the capacity to be anything she wants to be. I mean it sincerely,” he said at the time.
“She is solid. She can be president someday herself. She can be the vice president. She can go on to be a Supreme Court justice. She can be an attorney general. She has enormous capability,” he continued.
