Vice President Kamala Harris' office has been left frustrated and vexed following a disastrous stint on The View last week, CNN reports. Co-hosts Sunny Hostin and Ava Navarro were revealed to have tested positive for COVID-19 moments before Harris was scheduled to appear.
The vice president's staff reportedly didn't learn the truth of what was happening until Hostin and Navarro were abruptly pulled from set, per CNN. Harris' team had required all hosts to take a PCR test within 24 hours of the interview, and had reportedly been led to believe those tests had come back negative the night before.
