Kamala Harris says evacuating Americans, Afghan allies is Biden admin's 'highest priority'

Vice President Kamala Harris said evacuating Americans and U.S. allies in Afghanistan is the administration’s "highest priority" while answering reporters’ questions in Vietnam on Thursday. 

"Each day and night we continue to evacuate thousands, understanding it’s risky for them to be there," Harris told reporters in Hanoi, acknowledging it’s a "dangerous, difficult mission but it must be seen through and we intend to see it through as best we can."  Asked what the U.S. will do to help women and children in the country specifically, she said she has spent her "entire career on the protection of women and children."
