The president’s chief of staff Mark Meadows said on Aug. 16 that the White House isn’t contesting that Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif) as eligible to to serve as vice president, pushing back against recently circulated theories over her qualifications.

Meadows made the remarks during an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday, in response to a question about whether Harris, who presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden selected as his running mate last week, meets the constitutional requirements to serve in the White House.
