GOP has to move back toward 'policies and ideas': Riggleman

Rep. Denver Riggleman, R-Va., said on ABC News' "Powerhouse Politics" podcast that the Republican Party has to move back toward "policies and ideas" and away from conspiracy theories like those about the election.

"I think it's fear of the electorate and the base and maybe those few points that could cost him a primary, not get them reelected or maybe somebody is going to say something mean about them on Twitter," Riggleman said on the podcast.

Riggleman was one of the first Republicans to publicly accept Joe Biden as the president-elect and told ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl and Political Director Rick Klein that fear of the base was keeping other elected officials from doing the same.

Kamala Harris stops by DC nonprofit to thank volunteers

Vice President-elect Kamala Harris visited the nonprofit D.C. Central Kitchen with her husband, Doug Emhoff, Wednesday afternoon to thank the staff and volunteers for the work that they were doing. They also passed out individually wrapped cookies.

The nonprofit, which aims to prepare people in need for culinary careers, expects to serve 10,000 meals for the Thanksgiving holiday. Harris also spoke briefly about food insecurity in the U.S. 

"Right now in our country, one in six families are describing their children being hungry. One in five, the last number I saw, can't pay their rent," the vice president-elect said.

She also spoke about the pandemic, and the isolation many people are feeling "on top of being food insecure." 

"So, to do what you all are doing reminds people that they're not alone," she told the volunteers. "And that's a great gift that you give as well. So, Doug and I wanted to come by just to thank you all, everybody, for what you're doing, and for lifting everybody up."

Harris also took questions, and said that she had not yet spoken to Vice President Mike Pence, but wouldn't answer directly when asked if she had spoken with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. 

Finally, Harris shared that she and her husband would be spending Thanksgiving in Washington without members of their extended family.
