Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris has claimed that she relied on faith when she replaced President Joe Biden in the 2024 race after he dropped out.
Vice President Harris made the claim during an appearance on ABC’s radical show “The View” on Tuesday.
As Slay News reported earlier, CNN’s Brian Stelter insisted that Harris would face “sharp” questions from the anti-Trump propagandists on “The View.”
However, co-host Whoopi Goldberg revealed from the very beginning that the segment would be loaded with softballs.
Goldberg introduced Harris as “the next president of the United States.”

The first question Goldberg asked Harris was hardly less conciliatory.
Instead of giving the vice president a chance to talk policy, Goldberg asked Harris how she felt when she learned that she would replace Biden after he dropped out of the 2024 presidential race.
“You’ve barely taken a breath since, you know, 79 days ago when President Biden called your house and said he was stepping down and passing you the torch,” Goldberg said.
Harris responded by repeating the same story about “auntie making pancakes” for her niece and nephew.

However, it has been widely reported that Harris played a role in strongarming Biden out of the race and knew she would become the default Democrat nominee.
Nevertheless, Harris went on to explain that she had first asked Biden whether he was sure about the decision to step aside.
Harris then alleged that once they had discussed things to her satisfaction, her first response had been to get to church.
“The rest of the day … was surreal.
“I’ll tell you, honestly, one of the first people I called was my pastor,” she claimed.
“I mean, I needed to talk to God, you know, and to pray.
“It was — I understood in real time what was happening.
“Obviously, then it really set in in the hours and days to come.
“That was quite a day.”

President Biden appeared on “The View” just last month.
He did not deny reports that he was effectively forced out of the 2024 presidential race by powerful members of his own party.
