WASHINGTON (AP) — Kamala Harris used her first late-night network TV appearance since becoming vice president to reflect on how her life has changed since she got the job — including a shortage of emojis — and to talk up the need to vote in the midterm elections.
Harris,
appearing early Tuesday on NBC’s “Late Night with Seth Meyers” in a taped
appearance, promoted Biden administration efforts to fight climate change,
restore abortion rights and pardon people with federal convictions for
marijuana possession as she urged people to “speak with your vote” in the
midterms.
“Nobody
should have to go to jail for smoking weed, right?” she said, adding that
governors and states should follow the president’s lead in offering pardons for
state convictions.
Asked by
Meyers how life had changed for her since she became vice president, Harris
referenced “high-class problems” like security restrictions that alter
day-to-day dynamics. She said taking a walk with her husband, Doug Emhoff, is
no longer a one-on-one affair and that family chats via group text are “no
longer a thing.”
As for her
digital conversations, Harris said: “I have not received directly an emoji in a
year and a half.”
