Vice President Kamala Harris said Wednesday that she is “terrified” about the prospect of former President Donald Trump defeating President Biden in November and returning to the White House.
“We should all be scared,” Harris said during an appearance on ABC’s “The View.”
“As we know, and of course this is a very powerful women’s schedule, we don’t run from things when we’re scared,” the veep continued. “We fought it.”
Harris, 59, sounded a more confident note earlier this week in South Carolina, when he told the same network during an interview: “Let me tell you this: No matter who the Republican candidate is, we won. We won.”
“If it’s Donald Trump,” he added, “we beat him before and we’ll beat him again.”
Since early 2024, Harris has traveled to the battleground states of Georgia, Nevada and North Carolina to boost the Biden administration’s message.
Some Democratic figures have raised concerns about Biden’s campaign operations, with former President Barack Obama’s former campaign strategist David Axelrod saying on Tuesday that the re-election effort needs to “get ready” after Trump’s dominant Iowa caucus victory.

Among the issues facing Biden, 81, is concern about the oldest president’s age.
If the oldest president is re-elected on November 5 and serves a full four years, he will be 86 years old when he leaves office.
“Let me just address the issue directly. I spend a lot of time with our president, whether it’s in the Oval Office, the Situation Room,” Harris said Wednesday. “We have a president in Joe Biden who is forward-thinking in a way we haven’t seen in a long time.”

The vice president also admitted he and Biden “need to get re-elected.”
“We need to get reappointed and we need to deliver on what we’ve accomplished,” Harris said. “And that will be one of our big challenges. We’ve done a lot of good work, we need to let people know who brought it to them.”
Polls show Trump leading Biden in the national popular vote head-to-head by 1.3 percentage points, according to the latest RealClearPolitics aggregate.
