Pelosi on Whether Biden Should Step Down: People in California Are for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris

BASH: “Tom Friedman, a friend of President Biden’s, wrote the following. He wrote: ‘Joe Biden, a good man and a good president, has no business running for reelection. If he insists on running and he loses to Trump, Biden and his family and his staff and party members who enabled him will not be able to show their faces.’ What do you say to that? Should — is there any part of you that believes that President Biden should step aside?”
Pelosi: “I want you to know I came home to California, south and north, and people are for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. They have some judgment about a person who sat on that — stood on that stage and lied, lied, lied, lied, if you’re just talking about the debate. I’m respectful of some of the opinions that people have, but I also am respectful of the grassroots. My people are very much Biden/Kamala Harris. And this is an opportunity for Joe Biden to go out there and show he has the stamina and the rest. And, by the way, while the press — and, for some reason, they don’t — there are health care professionals who think that Trump has dementia, that his connection — his thoughts do not go together, not only that he just lies; he doesn’t even know the truth. So, if we’re just talking about mental acuity, let’s be fair about it. I don’t think Tom Friedman thinks that Donald Trump should be president of the United States. And while he may be saying we’re enablers, we see Joe Biden up close. We know how attuned he is to the issues, how informed he is. When I debate with him about legislation — not debate, but discuss it with him. He’s right there. So in any case, it was a bad night. Let’s not sugarcoat that. It was a bad night. It was a great presidency. And that’s what the American people have to choose.”
