Regrets, she has a few …
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) continued to work her way through the stages of grief following Vice President Kamala Harris’ election loss — this time blaming President Biden for not ending his bid for a second term earlier.
“Had the president gotten out sooner, there may have been other candidates in the race,” Pelosi (D-Calif.) told the New York Times in comments published Friday.
“The anticipation was that, if the president were to step aside, that there would be an open primary.”
The 84-year-old went on: “And as I say, Kamala may have, I think she would have done well in that and been stronger going forward. But we don’t know that. That didn’t happen.
“We live with what happened, and because the president endorsed Kamala Harris immediately, that really made it almost impossible to have a primary at that time. If it had been much earlier, it would have been different.”
Biden, 81, did not endorse Harris in his July 21 announcement that he was dropping out of the 2024 race — instead issuing a second statement minutes later giving her his seal of approval.
The bizarre sequence triggered speculation that either Biden had to be persuaded to endorse his No. 2 or that he had tried to clear the field immediately in a display of petulance toward those who forced him out of the campaign.
Pelosi’s comments to the Times appeared to confirm the second theory, even though the former speaker had said during a September event hosted by Semafor: “We had an open primary and [Kamala Harris] won it.”

Ma Barker doesn’t want to go to prison.
Now, she has lost total control.
Stripped of power.
Why was it necessary for Biden to drop out apart from a rigged process? Gene McCarthy entered the NH primary — Johnson dropped out when he barely (by incumbent standards) won.
No. @2 is a good way of describing Harris.
It was the scheme that you, charley and others cooked up nan? You made that bed now you have to sleep in it. Moral of this story nannie is never ever trust a half black dude, with big ears and no morals.....
What I heard at the time was that only Harris could be handed the campaign stash.
True or not she was the only logical choice, at that late date.
Blame is on everyone who knew Biden was senile. Which is to say everyone. Earlier intervention might have helped. Boo hoo. Live by the brain drained, die by the brain drained.
Maybe she and her partners in crime in the democrat party should have told the truth about Biden’s obvious mental decline rather than lie and tell us he’s never been sharper?
They were gambling the Trump hatred would
seal the deal.
What they promised voters:
Free s—t.
What voters would have gotten had she won:
S—t.
They had to have done a deal with Joe and
Jill to get him to drop out:
You drop out. Kamala runs in your place.
They won’t force you out by 25th amendment.
You won’t actually resign. You get to
stay in office till Jan 20 at noon.
Had he actually resigned Kamala would be
Acting President..though too busy campaigning to actually do anything.
Of course there’s no way Trump wins, they figure, so Dems keep the Commander in Chief
while Trump goes to jail.
Or so they thought.
I don’t understand the process/policy of the financial stuff associated with campaigns, etc., but have heard that, by law, kaMAla was the only option if they wanted to retain some funding. So maybe just another case of “follow the money”.
But then there’s the fact that the RATs never let a pesky law stand in their way for anything, so who really knows the reason.
I hope the Republicans retain the majority in the house and Mike Johnson moves pecker puss Pelosi’s office to the furnace room. He’ll be doing her a favor to get her acclimated for her destined eternity in hell.
The Democrat Party is a true Red Fascist party with nothing but evil in their hearts and destruction of the USA and the traditional family in their intentions. If people didn’t see that with the disgusting displays at their so-called rallies, they’re blind. We have many similar thinking people in the Senate with an R by their name and a few of those fighting for leadership to minimize the setback to their UniParty agenda that a President Elect Trump seeks to stop.
All of the rationales cover up the sole reason Kamala got the nod.....hers and Biden’s names were on the FEC campaign documents. Ergo she was the only one eligible for the $100 million war chest.
What else are "friends" for if not enrichment for recompensement later when nobody is looking.
Return on investment in an underhanded manner.
JMO, YMMV
I’m bathing in the red wave.😎
Drop out? Drop dead you evil POS.
She’s a senile old bitch and I wish her the worst. Hopefully she’ll rot in hell with the rest of her kind.
Nog sure that would have made a difference. They would have needed a really good candidate to beat Trump. Who do they have that isn’t a lying far left pos?
The problem was the Press/MSM didn't do their job because they're so used to being butt-kissers and propagandists for the democrat party that THEY let Biden get away with demetia...
Trust me, if Trump had dementia 'the press' would be all over it like white on rice. It wouldn't be discovered a year later in a televised debate. It would be discovered as it was happening. No passes for Republicans.
If the MSM wasn't dishonest, Biden's condition would have been outed in plenty of time to have others join the race - for a real primary. Could have created a different outcome. No one believes for a second reporters at the Washington Post weren't totally unaware of Biden's condition. They knew. But being the butt kissers they are they 'covered' for Biden to the detriment of the democrat party. Which is fine with me. Their dishonesty with themselves and with citizens helped elect Trump. And will help our side with future elections.
Biden was just a puppet and figure head who was willing to rubber stamp the entire agenda of the Radical Left.
And they were on track (at least in their minds) to pull Biden over the finish line to win a second term
Then some genius Democrat campaign advisor came up with the brilliant plan to win the Presidential debates buy not debating.
So they floated stories Biden wanted to debate Trump so he could kick Trumps ass (their words) like had before but Trump was afraid to debate him.
Then they would set up the debate moderated by Trumps worst enemies with bad faith debate rule demands that were so unfair and politically dangerous that Trump could never accept them.
When Trump refused to their terms because it would be insane to walk into that bad of an ambush, they could claim that Trump was afraid to debate Joe Biden and they would then claim Biden won the debate but Trump was a no show who was afraid of getting beat so bad by Biden.
They never intended for Biden to ever actually debate, but they didn't account for Biden's ego and his weird penchant for challenging his opponents to stuff like push up contests, arm wresting contests, golf matches.
Biden got out in front of the cameras he loves so much and openly challenged President Trump to a debate in a way that he could not walk away from if Trump accepted his insane debate terms .
Trump accepted when no one though he would or should go through with the debate because it was political suicide to debate in such a hostile venue.
But Trump did and the rest is history.
The same Democrat like Peolosi and Obama who came up with that crazy plan are the ones trying to blame others for their defeat.
