“And by the way, she’s very politically astute,” Pelosi said. “I don’t think people give her enough credit. She of course values a base consistent with the president’s values and the rest. But people don’t understand, she’s politically astute. Why would she be vice president if she were not? But when she was running for attorney general in California, she had 6% in the polls. Six percent in the polls. And she politically astutely made her case about why she would be good, did her politics and became attorney general. So people shouldn’t underestimate what Kamala Harris brings to the table.”
“She’s the vice-president of the United States,” Pelosi said. “People say to me, ‘Well, why isn’t she doing this or that?’ I say: ‘Because she’s the vice-president.’ That’s the job description. You don’t do that much. You know, you’re a source of strength, inspiration, intellectual resource. I think she’s represented our country very well at home and abroad.”
On Thursday morning, Pelosi told MSNBC: “The Biden-Harris team is our team. We’re very proud of it. And we’re all going to work very hard to make sure that they are re-elected.”
