“To think for one moment that my work would have anything to do with her rise makes me very happy, actually, because it’s true,” she said.

“I have so many women who come and thank me.”

As she choked up, she reached for her water, joking: “Sorry, I need my vodka.”

She added of the Vice President: “It’s been difficult since 2016, and we’re all very grateful about her.”
