Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) told CNN’s State of the Union on Saturday that she would not believe anything President Donald Trump says about a new CCP virus vaccine, agreeing with concerns from media speculation, as reported by The Washington Post, that the president is looking to use the vaccine for political capital in the upcoming election.

Instead, Harris said she will continue to look to health experts for information on the efficacy of a potential vaccine. If Trump were to announce that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had granted an emergency use authorization (EUA) for a vaccine, she would “not take his word for it” and would have to look to a credible source of information.
