From Mediaite: Jen Psaki argued Vice President Kamala Harris is clearly the best “alternative” to replace President Joe Biden at the top of the Democratic Party ticket — should he step down — and she questioned why more Democrats are not discussing her as such.
Psaki joined former Barack Obama aide Jon Lovett on Pod Save America this week to discuss the current debate surrounding her former boss Biden as some within his own party call for him to step down after last month’s CNN debate and subsequent interviews that have earned backlash and stoked concerns about his health.
Former White House Press Secretary Psaki said Democrats should be most concerned about down ballot races in the fall and how the top of the Democratic ticket will affect those races. When breaking down names floated as Biden “alternatives,” Psaki made a passionate case for Harris.
“There is a question out there that, again, I think campaigns are talking about, about the alternative and the alternative is very clearly in my view — there’s a lot of really amazing Democrats on the bench, but because of the timeline and everything, I think it is clearly Kamala Harris,” Psaki declared.
Psaki claimed that Harris is “an undervalued talent” and a “fierce communicator.”
“It’s almost like public opinion hasn’t caught up with what she is doing out there and also we live in a country that is sexist and racist so there is that,” she claimed.
