Kamala Harris clarifies comments on rejecting Buttigieg as running mate amid criticism over implications of his sexuality.
Kamala Harris has been forced to clarify comments about why she did not choose Pete Buttigieg as her running mate, after critics accused her of suggesting his sexuality was a barrier.
Speaking in an interview with MSNBC, Harris initially rejected claims that Buttigieg’s sexuality influenced the decision, but later admitted she had considered the political risks given the tight timeline of just 107 days.
The remarks drew swift reactions, with MSNBC host Rachel Maddow saying it was “hard to hear” that Buttigieg might have been excluded because he is gay. Harris insisted the decision saddened her but was made with the stakes of the election in mind.
