"I watched her on day one of this administration and I watch her now. You talk about the growth. She's got her swagger back and I'm loving watching it," Fudge said.
When Harris was interviewing candidates for the role of her running mate, Fudge said Harris sought out her input.
"I said, 'I don't want to tell you what I think because I'm gonna support whoever you pick.' She says, 'But I want to know what you think,'" Fudge recalled. "So we have that kind of relationship."
