A Q&A with Vice President Harris

Q: Vice President Harris, some economists are worried that the United States may be headed toward a recession. Does the administration have a view on the likelihood of that outcome?

A: I am standing here today, and, when you think about it — when you stop to think about it — we are talking about something important here. The thing we are talking about is — it’s important. It’s important, the thing we’re talking about. Listen, one of the key issues here is time. And I want to ask you all: What is it? What is time? Because that’s an issue that all of us [laughs] know — that we know, is necessary, even now. And I think: How about yes? How about, as a country, and a people, and as Americans, and also Lithuanians, where I am today — Romanians, where I am today, here in Asia — we know that. We know that.
