Kamala Harris

A parade of people walk into our apartment with a parade of binders, sit down.

Everyone's in masks to tell us, OK, this is what the campaign is going to be.

And because I hate to waste food, every one of them walked out with me handing them tomatoes as they left.

Well, having been in the position of both being the interviewer and the interviewee, it really, as much as anything, comes down to chemistry.

Because by the time that that interview is happening, it's usually narrowed down to about three people.

So all the vetting has been done.

I mean, the vetting, I had such a truncated experience when I was running for president of just a couple of weeks.

But I think Joe Biden took like nine weeks to make a decision.

And so there's vetting.

When I was being vetted for vice president, I had a, I don't know, nine-hour interview with a lawyer going through everything, everything, my taxes, my taxes.

Professional record, everything that was, everything, everything, everything.

I mean, talk about a colonoscopy.

Just virtually, that's kind of what it was.

And so when all of that has been done, and it's kind of green light, green light through that, then it's about sitting down and just deciding, because it is going to be a partnership, right?

Right?

And it has to be.

It has to be where you feel that you can trust someone, you could work with them, you're doing it for the same reasons.

Being vice president?

I didn't know exactly what it would be because there's nothing that can compare to it.

I mean, I was the 49th vice president of the United States.
