Joe Biden said Wednesday he would consider choosing Kamala Harris as his vice president if he wins the Democratic nomination, and suggested several other possible jobs for her.
"Of course I would,” he told reporters as he boarded his tour bus after an event in Ames, Iowa.
"Senator Harris has the capacity to be anything she wants to be,” he said a day after Harris ended her presidential bid. "She is solid. She can be a president one day herself. She could be the vice president. She could go on to be a Supreme Court Justice. She could be attorney general. I mean she has enormous capability.”
Biden also said he spoke to Harris on Tuesday.
In the first Democratic debate, Harris lit into Biden over his past positions on school busing, a moment that was a temporary breakthrough for Harris.
On Wednesday, when asked about that exchange, Biden said, "I’m not good at keeping hard feelings.”
