Vice President Kamala Harris declared that the idea of former President Donald Trump being reelected scares her and warned others to be nervous as well while appearing on The View.

“Let’s talk a little bit about how you’re going to – go after the other side, because some heavy hitting Democrats are sounding the alarm on closed doors,” Joy Behar, one of the talk show’s co-hosts, said.

“President [Barack] Obama reportedly has said that he thinks the [Joe] Biden campaign is too complacent when it comes to Trump,” the co-host added. “Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-South Carolina) has said the campaign isn’t breaking through ‘the MAGA wall.’ Michelle Obama says she’s terrified, as we are, about the potential outcome of the election.”

“Now, are you scared, first of all,” she asked Harris. “What could happen if Trump ever became, God forbid, president again? And what are you going to do to stop the crazies?”

“I am scared as heck,” the vice president replied. “Which is why I’m traveling our country.”

“You know, there’s an old saying that there are only two ways to run for office: Either without an opponent or scared,” Harris said. “So on all of those points, yes, we should all be scared.”

“But as we know, and certainly this is a table of very powerful women,” Harris declared. “We don’t run away from something when we’re scared. We fight back against it.”

“So many of us know when we are scared for the future of our children, do we then stay in bed with the covers over our head?” the vice president then asked. “Nope. No we can’t. We cannot. And this is where this election requires brightly that President Biden and I – and all of us who are part of this administration – we got to earn reelection. There is no question.”

“We got to be on the road,” Harris said. “Listen, since the – in the last two weeks, I’ve been to Georgia, I’ve been to Nevada, I’ve been to North Carolina, I’ve been to South Carolina twice. In the first two weeks of this year, I will be out on the road.”

“We have to earn the reelect and we have to communicate what we have achieved, and that is going to be one of our big challenges,” she stated. “We’ve done a lot of good work. We need to let people know who [brought] it to them.”

Harris has been at the forefront of the administration’s fight to ensure abortion rights after the Supreme Court struck down Roe V. Wade.

Harris was in the news last week when commentator Megan McCain voiced her disapproval of the VP, controversially saying, “Maybe a woman can’t be vice president.”
