As an afternoon guest at The New York Times‘ DealBook Summit, Vice President Kamala Harris took a swipe at former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy‘s suggestion that President Joe Biden wasn’t really engaged in negotiations because of his advanced age.
Earlier on Wednesday, McCarthy suggested that Biden was not the same person he used to talk to, and that he read off of cards during negotiations during the debt ceiling crisis.
Of McCarthy, Harris said, “With all due respect, when anyone who has had the experience he has most recently had, I don’t think he’s a judge of negotiations.” She added, “Age is more than a chronological fact.
I spent a whole lot of time with our president, be it in the Oval Office or the Situation Room and in other places, and I can tell you … not only is he authoritative in rooms around the globe but in the Oval Office meeting with members of Congress, meeting leaders in industry, meeting with community leaders.” McCarthy was ousted as House speaker in October.
