Vice President Kamala Harris engaged in a calm and measured discussion with the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ).
Amsterdam News has been reporting the news of the day from a Black perspective for 113 years.
Tuesday’s interview gave more insight into policy solutions for the vice president, who has faced growing questions about her policies — and access to the press — despite a strong debate performance last week and a raucous reception at the Democratic National Convention. “We have so many entrepreneurs in the community who do not have access to capital, but they’ve got great ideas, an incredible work ethic, the ambition, the aspiration, the dream, but don’t have the relationships necessarily,” Harris said. “Our Black men, just like any group of people — our small businesses — are really the backbone of our economy overall and when they do better, we all do better.”
Harris affirmed both support of Israel’s right to defend itself and Palestinians to have “dignity” and “self-determination” in achieving a two-state solution. “But right now the thing we need to get done is this hostage deal and a ceasefire deal,” she said. In addressing gun violence, Harris emphasized the need for an assault weapons ban, stronger background checks, and paid violence intervention programs. “There are very few solutions we haven’t thought of. We need to put the resources into them,” she said.
