(CNN) Vice President-elect Kamala Harris in a new interview airing Sunday recalled the time Beau Biden, the late son of President-elect Joe Biden, stood by his principles in a moment of "incredible" pressure. "It was incredible how much heat we took, and Beau stood there. Beau stood there," Harris told CNN's Abby Phillip in a special report set to air Sunday night. Harris had grown close with Biden, working on how to take on national banks during the crisis, when there was a wave of improper foreclosures initiated by large banks and other lenders. Harris wrote in her memoir, "The Truths We Hold," that Beau Biden was "an incredible friend and colleague" who had the "principle and courage" to take on banks that were largely organized in Delaware.
