Washington, Feb 17 (AP) Vice President Kamala Harris has addressed the people suffering through the loss of heat and electricity in Texas and other states.

Harris said at the top of a live interview Wednesday on NBC's “Today" show that she knows people without electricity can't see her and the president right now.

But she said "the president and I are thinking of them and really hope that we can do everything that is possible through the signing of the emergency orders to get federal relief to support them".
