Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has not only stabbed President Joe Biden in the back, she did so to Vice President Kamala Harris too.
Pelosi not only wants the president to step aside and have someone else as the Democrat Party’s nominee for president, but she also wants an open process and not to have it handed to Harris, Politico reported on Saturday.
“The discussion in that meeting of the California delegation, which includes 40 members, took place in the Capitol on July 10, at least partly focused on the complicated next steps for the Democratic Party if Biden left the ticket. And they specifically talked about the potential political downsides of party elites quickly crowning the vice president as the next nominee, according to four people familiar with the discussion, granted anonymity to discuss private conversations,” the report said.
But the reason that the former speaker and many in the party want a competition and not a coronation is to avoid the appearance of elites selecting the nominee after around 14 million Democrats voted for Biden and the elites are attempting to push him off the ballot.
