Vice President Kamala Harris addressed criticisms over her lack of interviews by taking questions from the National Association of Black Journalists, covering topics such as the economy, Trump’s claims of migrant pet-eating, and the Middle East peace process. Harris emphasized the administration’s efforts to improve the economy and support for gun safety laws, including universal background checks and an assault weapons ban. She also criticized false rumors about Haitian immigrants and highlighted the need for civility in politics, referencing her interactions with former President Donald Trump. Harris expressed optimism about a two-state solution in the Middle East and called for more resources for community-based interventions to address gun violence. In a rare show of bipartisanship, she checked on Trump after an assassination attempt and emphasized the need for healthy debates in democracy without resorting to violence. Harris also noted ongoing efforts to negotiate a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas.
