Vice President Kamala Harris dodged a question on whether she’d stay in the U.S. if former President Trump wins the presidency come November.

During her appearance on Sirius XM’s “The Howard Stern Show”—a part of her recent media blitz across mainly supportive platforms—Stern asked Harris if she’d flee the country if Trump wins the election.

“If he wins, God forbid, would you feel safe in this country? Would you stay in this country?” Stern questioned on Tuesday.

“Howard, I’m doing everything I can to make sure he does not win,” Harris shot back.

“But what if he does? How can you be safe? He’s saying, ‘No, I’m just going to do whatever the hell I want. This time, I know what I need to do,’” he continued.

Harris dodged the line of questioning by highlighting bipartisan support she’s received, mentioning backing from Republicans like former Vice President Dick Cheney and his daughter Liz Cheney.

“We are building a coalition of people that are Republicans, independents, Democrats, libertarians, all stripes of Americans who are coming together to say, you know what? This election is about putting country before party,” Harris remarked.

She continued, questioning the type of leader Americans want, someone committed to defending the Constitution or a leader engaged in flattery with leaders like Putin.

“This is about saying, do we want a president who’s going to abide by the oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States, or someone who is full-time engaged in flattery from Vladimir Putin of Russia and sending COVID testing kits over to him? When Americans are dying every day?” Harris added.

In his new book, journalist Bob Woodward claimed that Trump sent Russian President Vladimir Putin COVID-19 testing devices during the pandemic, and has had several phone conversations since leaving office.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Wednesday that the tests had been sent but he also denied the phone calls.

“We also sent equipment at the beginning of the pandemic,” Peskov told Bloomberg. “But about the phone calls — it’s not true.”

She also called Trump a “sore loser” for remarking that he would be a “dictator on day one” of his return to office.

“Understand what dictators do,” Harris said. “They jail journalists, they put people who are protesting in the street in jail.”

Elsewhere during her chat, Stern seethed about Harris being mocked on “Saturday Night Live.”

“I hate it. I don’t want you being made fun of,” he complained. “There’s too much at stake. I believe the entire future of this country right now … it’s literally on the line.”

Harris, however, admitted she found Maya Rudolph’s impersonation of her amusing, saying, “It was funny. I am a huge fan of Maya Rudolph, so I think she’s put a lot of time into doing the piece and the character.”

“But to your point, I literally am losing sleep,” she added.

Rudolph, known for her spot-on portrayal of Harris since the 2020 election season, reprised her role recently.

When this SNL skit was shown on “The View,” Harris, who wearing a similar outfit as Rudolph was while playing her, laughed out loud.

“They say that imitation is the highest form of flattery,” Joy Behar noted while interviewing Harris on Tuesday.

Harris said she hadn’t seen the skit yet, and Behar asked if she liked it. “Maya Rudolph – I mean she is so good,” the Vice President responded. “She had the whole thing, the suit, the jewelry – everything. The mannerisms.”

Later, co-host Sunny Hostin gave Harris a chance to distinguish her potential presidency from President Biden’s, asking, “What do you think would be the biggest specific difference between your presidency and a Bidency — a Biden presidency?”

“Well, obviously, we’re two different people, and we have a lot of shared life experiences, for example, the way we feel about our family and our parents and so on,” Harris blandly answered.

“But we’re also different people and I will bring those sensibilities to how I lead.”

Hostin attempted again for clarity, questioning if Harris would have handled anything differently than Biden over the past years.

Harris struggled to pinpoint any differences, eventually stating, “There is not a thing that comes to mind, in terms of … and I’ve been a part of — of most of the decisions that have had impact.”
