Senator Elizabeth Warren is ‘everything fine’ with Kamala Harris after proposed rift

Sen. Elizabeth Warren is “all good” with Vice President Kamala Harris.

That’s what the Massachusetts legislature said “Boston Public Radio” On GBH News on Wednesday to clear the air and confirm the relationship between two of the nation’s top Democrats is a-OK, after a CNN report earlier this month suggested it could be on the rocks.

“We had dinner together… a few weeks ago [with a] bipartisan group,” Warren said. “Everything’s ok.”

Whether there was a rift between Warren and Harris who stuck together for a long time Working relationship dating back to when Warren was still a professor at Harvard Law Schoolcame into question after Warren apparently botched her answer to a question about whether President Joe Biden should keep Harris as his running mate in the 2024 election an interview on GBH News in January.

“I really want to address what makes Biden comfortable on his team,” Warren said during an appearance on the same show she was on Wednesday. “I have known Kamala for a long time. i like kamala I knew her back when she was attorney general and I was still teaching, and we worked together on the housing crisis. So we go way back. But they have to be a team and in my opinion they are. I don’t mean that there are any problems. I think they are [a team].”

Warren quickly cleared the remarks in a statement to the NPR affiliate afterward. She said she fully supports the ticket and “never intended to imply otherwise”.

But acc a CNN report Earlier this month, in the months since that interview, Warren reportedly called Harris twice to apologize, but their calls went unanswered.

Warren reiterated her support for Harris when asked on Wednesday if she would like to clarify her remarks live on air.

“I fully support Vice President Harris, and I think she’s doing a great, great job,” she said.

The senator then highlighted Harris’ leadership on abortion issues, particularly since the US Supreme Court Roe v. Wade lifted last year.

“She’s been out there on the front lines and made a really strong case for protecting access to abortion for all women,” Warren said.

“Vice President Harris has been strong in this fight and it is a real honor to work with her and I look forward to fighting for the re-election of President Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and Senator Elizabeth Warren,” Warren said, citing her offer for a third term, which she announced earlier this week. “We’ll all be on the ticket together.”
