I find this statement to indeed be true. The source provided from thehill.com uses a CNN clip of the aid in question, stating these arguments. The link showing who Jamal Simmons was showed that he was "Communications Director for the Vice President, 2022 - Present" which reasonably matches the claim of him being Harris's aide.

Can you find any sources beside's the The Hill? It's best to find a source besides the one used for the claim. Thanks!

The main claim of this article is verified and true and has more news coverage from other outlets. The original source of this claim was CNN as the aide made his comment on there. The author of this claim is reliable and has reached out to the white house to get an official comment. The content of this article is recent and the article itself was really well-balanced, by giving the information without forcing the author's opinion on their readers. The headline tells the basic point of the article and lets you know exactly what you will be reading.
