Remarks by Vice President Harris in Press Gaggle| Pittsburgh, PA

Penzeys SpicesPittsburgh, Pennsylvania Q Madam Vice President, what do you think of the Cheneys' endorsement, ma’am? Liz Cheney and Dick Cheney have endorsed you. What do you think about that? THE VICE PRESIDENT: I’m - I’m - actually, I’m honored to have their endorsement. And I think that what - they both, as leaders who are well-respected, are making an important statement that it’s okay and - if not important to put country above party. And I’m honored to have their support, and I think it’s an important statement right now. A lot of what I think is happening - and I was just talking with some folks here in Pittsburgh about it - is that people are exhausted about the division and - and the attempts to kind of divide us as Americans. And them stepping up to make this public statement, I think, is courageous, but also, for people like the folks I was just talking with, it really reenforces for them that we love our country, and we have more in common than what separates us. So - Q Are you - are you ready to debate Donald Trump? AIDE: All right. Thank you, press. (Cross-talk.) Q Are you ready to face Donald Trump this week? THE VICE PRESIDENT: Yes, I am. Yes. Q Best part of debate prep for you? What’s your favorite part? THE VICE PRESIDENT: Being at this spice store. I finally got out of the debate prep to look at these spices. Best part of debate prep so far. (Laughs.) Q But your main message to Trump in the debate. What’s the one thing you want to really get - get across to him? THE VICE PRESIDENT: Well, there is a lot. But look, it’s time to turn the page on the divisiveness. It’s time to bring our country together to chart a new way forward.
