Representative Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) suggested Vice President Kamala Harris lost the general election this week due to President Joe Biden’s late exit from the presidential race and bemoaned the lack of an open primary.
“Had the president gotten out sooner, there may have been other candidates in the race,” the former House speaker said in a post-election interview with the New York Times‘ Lulu Garcia-Navarro on Thursday. “Kamala, I think, still would have won, but she may have been stronger, having taken her case to the public sooner.”
