Kamala Harris returned to The View on Tuesday, Sept. 23, for the first time since she stopped by the show during her presidential campaign last year. That was the day she was asked what she would have done differently than Joe Biden, to which she replied, “There’s not a thing that comes to mind.”
A few things come to mind now, but Harris has saved most of those notes for the pages of her memoir, 107 Days. On The View, though, she did admit: “I didn’t fully appreciate how much people wanted to know there was a difference between me and President Biden.”
She added that her current relationship with Biden “is based on mutual respect, having been in the trenches together, and admiration.” She added: “It’s sincere.”
Harris’ interview on the show came ahead of a scheduled appearance with The View co-host Ana Navarro in support of 107 Days. During The View, Navaro joked that she hoped local residents would join them, “if you haven’t been deported yet.” The comment seemed to catch Harris off-guard. “Oh that’s awful,” Harris said while laughing. “Maybe or maybe not she’ll be moderating.”
The topic of deportation came up earlier in the conversation, too, when Harris pivoted the focus away from the glaring promises that Donald Trump sold to votes, but failed to fulfill. “Meanwhile, there are certain promises he did keep, which is he was going to weaponize the Department of Justice and go after his political enemies, that he was going to silence critics against him,” she said. “That he was going to fulfill whatever his fragile ego needed through the tool of our federal government.”
Harris added: “They did what they said they were going to do. I heard a story a friend of mine was telling me about a Cuban-American whose partner was being deported to Sudan — and that person was a big Trump supporter.”
This month, two American military cargo jets deported people to Africa on flights that appear to have had their transponders turned off, which obscures their locations from public flight databases and other nearby aircraft that could provide locational updates or tracking.

“Well why is this happening? He said he was only going to go after criminals,’” Harris said, noting the couple’s confusion. “He lied.”
