But it was something that I know he was very intentional about in terms of asking me to run with him and to serve with him, which is that I will bring a perspective that will contribute to the overall decisions that we make.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe and I are in almost every meeting together, have made almost every decision together,\u201d she continued, later adding, \u201cSo, yes, I carry a great, great sense of responsibility, if not the seriousness of the responsibility, to be in this position and be a voice for those who have not traditionally been in the room.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bash commented, \u201cPresident Biden always said that he wants you to be the last person in the room, particularly for big decisions, just as he was for President Obama.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes,\u201d Harris agreed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe just made a really big decision: Afghanistan,\u201d Bash noted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes,\u201d Harris reiterated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWere you the last person in the room?\u201d Bash asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes,\u201d Harris repeated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd you feel comfortable?\u201d Bash inquired.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do,\u201d Harris stated, then gushed, \u201cAnd I\u2019m going to add to that.
