Sunny asked Kamala if there was anything she would have done differently during her time as Vice President alongside Joe Biden. Kamala said that there was "not a thing" that came to mind but did give examples of the changes they made that impacted many. They reduced the cost of insulin and invested in American industries, to name a few.

To Kamala, her personal experience will influence and impact her possible presidency. She has been very open about her personal life and told the story of how she found out Joe was stepping down from the 2024 presidential race.

She said it started with a phone call from the President and her asking him: "Are you sure?" She told The View hosts how she was spending time with her family when Joe reached out. She was wearing workout clothes, serving breakfast and working on a puzzle with her nieces. Kamala then admitted that the first person she called was her pastor as she "needed to talk to God and to pray."
