President Donald Trump said on Aug. 11 that Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) was his number one choice for the running mate of presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.

“So she was my number-one pick,” Trump told reporters at the White House. “I mean, she was—as they would say, because hopefully you‘ll start college football—she was my number-one draft pick. And we’ll see how she works out.”
