A new campaign video released on Tuesday (September 8) features former President Barack Obama and Democratic vice presidential nominee Senator Kamala Harris, discussing each other's relationship with presidential candidate Joe Biden.
This is the first time Obama has been seen with Harris since Biden chose her as his running-mate.
“So tell me about Joe and your relationship with Joe, and what do I need to know? Like what's the thing about the ice cream. He loves ice cream. Tell me about that,” Harris said, laughing.
“Well, listen, ice cream is big. Pasta with red sauce. He can go deep on that. He really does like those aviator glasses, he knows he looks good in them,” Obama joked.
“But the main thing to know about Joe is that Joe has never lost his sense of why we do this, and we do it because of you know for him, memories of his family back in Scranton and then the people of Delaware that he represented, the folks on the Amtrak train he met each and every day…His focus is going to be how's that going to help those people who sent him there,” the former president said.
“I love that about him, too,” Harris stated. “You know folks want to be seen and Joe sees people through those aviator glasses and without them. He really does see people. It’s a very special thing about him.”
The two also talked about the draining experience of the campaign trail, the moments they shared with people on the road, and Harris’ campaign playlist, which features Mary J. Blige.
At the end of the campaign video, Harris thanked Obama and sent her best wishes to former first lady Michelle Obama.
“I'm going to be doing everything I can and Michelle will be, too, to make sure that we have a good Election Day,” Obama finished.
