Co-host Sara Haines raised concerns about the Biden campaign’s focus on “saving democracy” while many Americans were more worried about day-to-day issues. Harris countered, arguing that the two were interconnected. She stressed the importance of fundamental freedoms and rights guaranteed in the Constitution, particularly the right to abortion, and stated, “We will not have the kind of quality of life that I think most people want without fundamental freedoms and the rights that are guaranteed in our Constitution.”
