During an unusually tough exclusive interview with Vice President Kamala Harris aired on NBC’s Today show Thursday morning, co-host Craig Melvin actually asked the VP if she would be dropped from the Democratic Party ticket in 2024. A visibly upset Harris bristled that she didn’t want to respond to “the punditry and the gossip.”

“Are we going to see the same Democratic ticket in 2024?,” Melvin vaguely wondered. After a long pause, Harris whined: “I’m sorry, we are thinking about today. I mean, honestly, I know why you’re asking the question because this is part of the punditry and the gossip around places like Washington, D.C.” She continued: “We’re focused on what we need to do to address issues like affordable child care, what we need to do to ensure that – ”

Melvin cut her off: “So there’ll be no conversations about 2024?” Harris insisted: “The American people sent us here to do a job. And right now there’s a lot of work to be done, and that’s my focus. Sincerely.”
