Vice President Harris appears to be singing a different tune when it comes to ensuring "Medicare-for-all," compared to when she ran for president in 2019.

A campaign official told Fox News senior White House correspondent Peter Doocy that Harris will not push the subject of single-payer or "Medicare-for-all" this go around, as she seeks her first term as commander-in-chief.

In 2019, Fox News spoke to Harris in the hallways of Capitol Hill, asking about her plans for providing health care.

"How important is it to your health care plan to get rid of private insurance companies? Because there is some confusion about that," Doocy asked Harris on Jan. 30, 2019.

"I’m glad you asked. Yeah. So, the bottom line and the most important is that everyone have access to health care," Harris said. "That is the goal. That is the purpose for me supporting the policy of ‘Medicare-for-all.’

"If Congress votes in a way that reflects the values and desires of the American people, then Congress will vote for a policy that gives everyone access to health care," she later said.

On July 29, 2019, Harris published a piece on her campaign website about her plan to provide "Medicare-for-all."
