U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley spoke with KCII News about Kamala Harris being picked as the Democratic nominee for President. “What little I had to do with her as a colleague in the United States Senate, I could not say that she’s dumb like some people have indicated. I think she has trouble speaking off the cuff, but in the US Senate you usually have written speeches. So that wasn’t so obvious to me.” Kamala Harris received the Democratic presidential nomination in Chicago following the state roll call during the Democratic National Convention that was held from August 19th through the 22nd.
