Vice President Kamala Harris said during an interview over the weekend that Republican criticism of her stems from her opponents being “scared” of her and the “merit of the work” that she has done.

Harris, who according to polling is the worst-rated vice president in modern American history, made the remarks during an interview with Margaret Brennan on CBS News’ “Face The Nation.”

Brennan noted that the criticism has come from Republican presidential candidates warning that Harris would take over the presidency if something happens to President Joe Biden, who would be 86 at the end of a second term.
