Kamala Harris 'will not absolve' senators who oppose Biden agenda
Fox News
Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday said she is “not going to absolve” senators who stand in the way of Democratic-led legislation aimed at overhauling the U.S. election system.
"The United States Senate has the opportunity and, I daresay, the responsibility to pass these bills through Congress so the president can sign them. And the resistance to doing that will not deter us from our commitment to getting it done," Harris said during a volunteer event in Washington, D.C., marking Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
When a reporter asked a follow-up question about Manchin and Sinema, whose continued lack of support has stalled aspects of Biden's agenda, Harris said, "As I've said before, there are 100 members of the United States Senate, and I'm not going to absolve — nor should any of us — absolve any member of the United States Senate from taking on a responsibility to follow through on the oath that they all took to support and defend the Constitution of the United States."
