Vice President Kamala Harris laid out her vision for the economy in her first one-on-one national TV interview since becoming the Democratic nominee. Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump, who is campaigning in North Carolina, slammed her for not doing enough to make things better during her time in office.
WASHINGTON — If she wins in November, Vice President Kamala Harris may face a hostile, Republican-controlled Senate in no mood to confirm the senior Cabinet officials she’ll need to run her administration. Anticipating that scenario, Harris’ team is exploring whether to keep in place some of the Biden administration officials who’ve already been confirmed by the Senate and wouldn’t need to face the gauntlet again, four people familiar with her transition planning said.
Last month, Harris' campaign appointed Yohannes Abraham to run the team that is preparing for a transfer of power. At the time, Abraham was the U.S ambassador to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations , based in Indonesia. He came to his new role with direct experience, having been executive director of Biden’s transition in 2020. Trump, too, began transition preparations relatively late. Like Harris, his campaign only named his transition team leaders in August.
