NextImg:Pelosi dodges endorsing Kamala Harris as Biden’s running mate

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) dodged answering if she thinks Vice President Kamala Harris is President Joe Biden’s best option for a running mate in 2024.

“[Biden] thinks so, and that’s what matters,” Pelosi, the former House speaker, said when asked by CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Wednesday evening.

Pelosi, who announced last week she would run for reelection in the House, pointed to Harris’s campaign record as attorney general of California in 2011, calling the vice president “very politically astute” for winning the election while only having 6% in the polls at one point.

“And by the way, she’s very politically astute,” Pelosi said. “I don’t think people give her enough credit. She’s, of course, values-based, consistent with the president’s values and the rest.”

When asked again if she believed Harris was the best running mate for the president, Pelosi dodged giving an endorsement for the second time, saying the role of the vice president doesn't “do that much” but is “a source of strength, inspiration, intellectual resource, and the rest.”

“She’s the vice president of the United States,” Pelosi replied. “And when 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.”

Pelosi shares a San Francisco-based connection with Harris, and the pair were the first women to lead the Senate and House during a presidential address to Congress in 2021.

“I think she's represented a country very well at home and abroad,” Pelosi said.

Most people believe Biden is too old to serve another term. The 80-year-old commander in chief is already the oldest president in history.

While 54% of Democratic voters are satisfied with Harris as Biden's running mate in 2024, fewer are enthusiastic, 30%, according to the latest CBS News/YouGov poll.
