HARRIS IS OUT ON THE TRAIL, INTRODUCING HERSELF AS A CANDIDATE. WHILE BOTH SIDES OF THE POLITICAL AISLE ARE WORKING TO DEFINE HER WITH VOTES. JOINING ME NOW IS SOMEONE WHO KNOWS HER WELL, HER FRIEND AND FORMER COLLEAGUE IN THE SENATE, DEMOCRATIC SENATOR CORY BOOKER OF NEW JERSEY. SENATOR, THANK YOU FOR COMING ON. WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU TO WATCH YOUR FRIEND THIS WEEK -- I WATCHED YOU WORK HARD IN THE SENATE, AROUND THE GEORGE FLOYD JUSTICE IN POLICING ACT, THE DAWN LEWIS BILL. I HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR THE FRIENDSHIP AND BOND YOU HAVE. WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO SEE HER BECOME THE DE FACTO NOMINEE AND HAVE A STELLAR FIRST WEEK IN FUNDRAISING AND TAKE DONALD TRUMP TO TASK OVER DEBATE? FROM YOUR EXPERIENCE WORKING WITH HER, WHY IS SHE THE PERFECT PERSON FOR THIS MOMENT? >> I WAS ON THE FENCES WITH HER AND A LOT OF REALLY IMPORTANT FIGHTS. THIS LEGISLATION THAT HER RENT I WORKED ON AND PARTNERED ON AND FOUGHT FOR, WHEN SHE WAS WITH THE VICE PRESIDENT, SHE GOT TO SIGN SO MUCH OF THAT LEGISLATION, WHETHER IT WAS THINGS LIKE BEING PART OF THE GROUP THAT WAS PUSHING TO GET JUNETEENTH A HOLIDAY OR THE ANTILYNCHING BILL, OR YOU ARE RIGHT, ESPECIALLY RIGHT NOW WITH THE MURDER OF MASSEY, THE URGENCY FOR THE GEORGE FLOYD JUSTICE IN POLICING ACT . SHE CO-AUTHORED THAT BILL WITH ME. I KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE TO BE WITH HER IN A FOXHOLE. I KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE TO FIGHT WITH HER IN THE TRENCHES AND WE ARE EXCITED TO BE IN A PERIOD WHERE AMERICA WILL SEE HOW EXTRAORDINARY SHE IS. SHE IS A GRASS CEILING BREAKER, A HISTORY MAKER. SHE IS SOMEBODY WHO IS RELENTLESS, WHO IS PREPARED, WHO HAS A SENSE OF EXCELLENCE AND POSSIBILITY. >> VP HARRIS IS EXPECTED TO MAKE HER CHOICE FOR RUNNING MATE AND LESS THAN TWO WEEKS. NBC REPORTS THERE ARE 12 NAMES UNDER CONSIDERATION FOR THE DEMOCRATIC VICE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION BUT ACCORDING TO SOURCES FAMILIAR WITH THE CAMPAIGN FOR VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS, THERE IS A WINDOW TO WIND DOWN THE LIST TO PENNSYLVANIA GOVERNOR JOSH SAPIR OH, NORTH CAROLINA GOVERNOR ROY COOPER AND SENATOR MARK KELLY OF ARIZONA. WHAT ARE YOU HEARING ABOUT THE SEARCH? YOU KNOW AND I KNOW SHE DOES NOT ALWAYS GO WITH WHAT WOULD BE PREDICTED. I MUST SAY, ON MY RADIO SHOW, YOU ARE IN THE TOP TWO, PROBABLY THE TOP ONE AND HALF. WOULD YOU SERVE IF SHE ASKED YOU? >> I THINK THERE IS A MUCH OF A CHANCE AS ME BEING THE NEXT CONTESTANT ON THE BACHELOR. >> YOU ARE QUALIFIED FOR BOTH, THOUGH. >> THANK YOU. THAT IS A DIFFERENT KIND OF SHOW YOU AND I COULD HAVE IN THE FUTURE. RIGHT NOW, THE REALITY IS, LOOK AT THAT LIST. ALL OF US DEMOCRATS SHOULD BE REALLY, REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT LIST. SHE HAS TREMENDOUS CHOICES. I WILL TELL YOU, JOSH SAPIR OH IS ONE OF THE MORE DYNAMIC, CHARISMATIC PEOPLE I HAVE GOTTEN A CHANCE TO KNOW. MARK KELLY, I HAVE SERVED WITH THIS MAN AS WELL. HE IS ONE OF THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY HUMAN BEINGS I HAVE MET. FORGET U.S. SENATOR. HE HAS LANDED JETS ON AIRCRAFT CARRIERS, MILITARY SERVICE, A NASA ASTRONAUT. QUITE LITERALLY, THE GUY HAS THE RIGHT STUFF AND HE IS OUT OF THE WORLD. WITH MARK KELLY, YOU ALSO GET PERHAPS ONE OF THE GREATEST CHAMPIONS AND HEROES IN THE COUNTRY WHO WOULD BE THE SECOND LADY IN GABBY GIFFORDS. THIS IS A POWERFUL GROUP OF PEOPLE. WE, AS DEMOCRATS, SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT WE HAVE MOMENTUM. WE HAVE ENERGY. I AM OUT HERE IN NEVADA CAMPAIGNING UP AND DOWN THE TICKET RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THIS ELECTION, AS GREAT AS OUR CANDIDATE IS, WILL BE WON BY THE GRASSROOTS SEEING THIS RECORD VOLUNTEERISM THAT SHE HAS, THESE SMALL DOLLAR CONTRIBUTIONS. WHEN IT COMES TO LEADERSHIP, I KNOW THE VICE PRESIDENTIAL PICK IS IMPORTANT BUT WE ARE
