Harris meets baby formula shipment outside DC

Vice President Harris welcomed another shipment of infant formula from overseas at the Dulles, Va., airport on Friday and said that the administration will have brought in 13 million eight-ounce bottles through its “Operation Fly Formula” airlift by the end of the week.

Harris and second gentleman Doug Emhoff met with aviation and transportation workers aiding the formula delivery at the airport outside Washington.

The vice president delivered brief remarks touting the public-private partnership that has brought thousands of pounds of formula from overseas to the U.S. amid a critical domestic shortage.

“This really is about what should be one of the highest purposes for any one of us, which is to ensure we are meeting the needs of our children,” Harris said.

At least we’re getting some relief so I don’t understand the questions.
