00:00Thank you. Yes, we're questions on this subject. Yes.

00:03I know you said that this was a bottom up process, but Kamala Harris is the Vice President of the

00:09United States. There was no other competition. This is going to be selected by party delegates,

00:15insiders, essentially. What's your case to the American people and to the Democratic voters

00:20that voted for Joe Biden that this isn't a coronation?

00:23The bottom line, it was a bottom up process. People just rallied right to her side.

00:28The enthusiasm in this big, diverse, representative party was amazing.

00:35It was palpable. You could cut it with a knife.

00:38Yes.

00:38Are you worried that Republican efforts will bubble up in states

00:41to keep Harris off the ballot, to leave Joe Biden on the ballot?

00:45No. Yes.

00:48When are you guys going to meet with the Vice President?

00:50Soon. See, we're getting more questions in with short answers.

00:55You had a number of conversations with the President over the last

00:58several weeks. You went out to Delaware. That was described as a bit of an emotional meeting,

01:03sort of. I'm wondering, did you ever personally ask him not to run for re-election?

01:09Look, what I would say is that the President has done an amazing, amazing job as President,

01:18one of the best we've ever had, and he put his country first and made the right decision.

01:24Thank you, everybody.
