If that resolution hits the floor, I would vote for it 100 percent. But at the end of the day, Kamala Harris and the cabinet, they have a responsibility to the American people. They have a constitutional duty to the American people.” Chad Pergram currently serves as a senior congressional correspondent for FOX News Channel (FNC).
