Vice President Kamala Harris says the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict shows the country has “a lot more to do” to make the criminal justice system “equitable.”
“The verdict really speaks for itself,” the vice president said while traveling in Columbus, Ohio, on Friday following the verdict. Harris, a lawyer and former attorney general of California, said she had questions about the verdict.
“As many of you know, I’ve spent the majority of my career working to make the criminal justice system more equitable, and clearly there’s a lot more to do,” she said.

“While the verdict in Kenosha will leave many Americans feeling angry and concerned — myself included — we must acknowledge that the jury has spoken,” Biden said. “I ran on a promise to bring Americans together because I believe that what unites us is far greater than what divides us.”
