The vice president’s office did not select the kids who participated in the YouTube Originals special, a White House official told The Hill.

“The casting process for this show was no different from typical unscripted kids shows across other networks and streaming platforms. YouTube selected the kids that were featured. We reached out via not for profit organizations, social media and traditional casting websites, looking for kids who were interested in contributing positively to their communities,” a YouTube spokesperson told The Hill.

Harris’ office and the YouTube spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment on if the children in the video were paid.
