WASHINGTON (AP) 鈥� 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 鈥� including a shortage of emojis 鈥� and to talk up the need to vote in the midterm elections.
Harris, appearing early Tuesday on N小蓝视频鈥檚 鈥淟ate Night with Seth Meyers鈥� 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 鈥渟peak with your vote鈥� in the midterms.
鈥淣obody should have to go to jail for smoking weed, right?鈥� she said, adding that governors and states should follow the president鈥檚 lead in offering pardons for state convictions.
Asked by Meyers how life had changed for her since she became vice president, Harris referenced 鈥渉igh-class problems鈥� 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 鈥渘o longer a thing.鈥�
As for her digital conversations, Harris said: 鈥淚 have not received directly an emoji in a year and a half.鈥�
