"My sense is that there wasn’t a level of trust between Biden and Harris," Vance said. "She was just less empowered to do her job. Luckily, I’m in a situation where the president trusts me, where if he asks me to do something, he believes it’s going to happen. … I feel empowered in a way that I think a lot of vice presidents haven’t been, but that’s all in the service of accomplishing the president’s vision."
Harris routinely faced scrutiny for comments in which she jumbled words, including when she said, "I grew up understanding the children of the community are the children of the community" in September 2024.

Harris, who previously served as a senator from California, is now a speaker with CAA Speakers, which represents high-profile celebrities. CAA did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.
A spokesperson for Vance confirmed the vice president made the remarks on the podcast but did not provide additional comment to Fox News Digital. Coglianese did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.
Meanwhile, Vance also poked fun at himself in the interview Thursday.
Vance, who has become the source of thousands of memes circulating the internet after the heated Oval Office meeting between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in February, said he finds the memes entertaining.
In particular, he said he enjoys one based off Leonardo DiCaprio pointing at the television from the 2019 film "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," and another swapping his face with members of the band Van Halen.
"I’m a personal fan of Vance Halen, but that’s because I really like the band Van Halen," Vance said. "So that’s just my personal preferences. I don’t know how it happened or where it came from, but it’s been very, very funny to watch your own face become this meme. It’s made the job a lot more fun, so I encourage people to keep doing it."
