Representative Nancy Pelosi suggested that President Biden's early exit from the presidential race could have paved the way for a competitive Democratic primary, fostering a broader candidate selection process.
In an interview, Pelosi explained that the expectation was that Biden's exit would lead to an open primary for the Democratic nomination, rather than the anointment of Kamala Harris.
Pelosi indicated that if Biden had stepped down sooner, other candidates might have entered the race, providing a more competitive environment and potentially strengthening Kamala Harris.
She expressed frustration that Biden's immediate endorsement of Harris after dropping out limited other candidates from emerging, saying, 'If it had been much earlier, it would have been different.'
