Harris, as part of a media blitz, joined ABC's"The View" on Tuesday.Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris speaks during a campaign event at the Expo at World Market Center, Sept. 29, 2024, in Las Vegas.Vice President Kamala Harris went after Donald Trump for his false claims about FEMA in the wake of devastating storms in the Southeast during an appearance on ABC's "The View" on Tuesday.
"It's profound and it is the height of irresponsibility and, frankly, callousness," Harris said of Trump's claims. "Lives are literally at stake right now." Harris described personal stories she heard from those impacted by Hurricane Helene and its aftermath after traveling to Georgia and North Carolina.
"People are losing their home with no hope of ever being able to reconstruct or return, and the idea that somebody would be playing political games for the sake of himself -- but this is so consistent about Donald Trump," she said. "He puts himself before the needs of others. I fear that he really lacks empathy on a very basic level."
Harris' sit-down on "The View" marks her first live interview since becoming the Democratic nominee. She is ramping up her media appearances this week with now just one month until Election Day.
