Democratic Rep. Nancy Pelosi suggested Donald Trump had 'dementia' on Sunday during an interview on CNN and largely defended President Biden following the debate.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi defended President Biden on Sunday during an interview on CNN after the presidential debate, and suggested former President Trump has 'dementia.' CNN host Dana Bash asked Pelosi if there was any part of her that believed Biden should step aside. '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,' she responded.
We know how attuned he is to the issues, we know how informed he is. I debate with him about the issues, 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,' Pelosi continued.
don‘t say that to say that could never happen because it might, I don’t mean now. I mean, in history it could. But understand this, this is really important for people to understand. Joe Biden has won the nomination. He has won the nomination,' Pelosi said. Bash pushed back and said he didn't officially have the nomination yet. 'The roll-call has been happening around the country, because of the timing of the election. It's a very different year,' Pelosi countered.
Tom Friedman, a columnist for The New York Times and a friend to Biden, called on the former president to drop out, saying the debate made him 'weep.' '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,' he wrote.
