Harris stressed that the issue is high on the Biden administration’s agenda and that the president will “not let the filibuster get in the way” of signing bills into law that make it easier to vote.

“Because what is happening in our country … they are passing laws making it more difficult for people to vote,” said Harris.

Harris specified President Biden’s support for the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and the Freedom to Vote Act. Both bills have been approved by the House but blocked in the Senate by Republican filibusters.

The vice president said that after Biden was elected in 2020 “you almost saw, almost immediately, so-called extremist leaders around the country starting to pass laws making it more difficult for people to vote.”

“I think that scared some people that the American people were voting in such large numbers,” she said, referencing the record voter turnout that year.

Harris also addressed election deniers running for secretary of state around the country and some lawmakers’ refusal to condemn the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, voicing concern over how the country is handling “attacks from within.”

Harris appeared to push back against the argument, raised by Todd, that it would be “too divisive for the country to prosecute a former president,” however.

She said that “the unthinkable has happened” before in U.S. history in situations “where there has been a call for justice, and justice has been served.”

“And I think that’s potentially going to always be the case in our country that people are going to demand justice and they rightly do,” she said.
