Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi’s support arrives. Rumors about Biden’s doubts –

Is Kamala Harris really capable of defeating Donald Trump? This is, according to the media, the doubt of the President of the United States Joe Biden, the one that has convinced him to postpone several times the decision to abandon the race for the White House. The former speaker of the House of Representatives, the Democrat Nancy Pelosi, has meanwhile announced her support for the vice president’s election campaign. In a note, the former speaker said that, with “immense pride and great optimism, I want to give my support to Kamala Harris’ campaign for the presidency of the United States”.

Even the president’s closest advisers had doubts about whether Harris was the best candidate to replace Biden, three sources with knowledge of the matter told Axios. After announcing his withdrawal, the president immediately publicly supported his vice president, but in private conversations he expressed his doubts. So much so that next week will be crucial for Harris to prove those who doubt her wrong. Biden, Bill and Hillary Clinton and many Democratic members of Congress have immediately endorsed Harris, but some heavyweights, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and former President Barack Obama have yet to express their support.

“We will be navigating uncharted waters in the days ahead,” Obama said in a statement. “But I have enormous confidence that our party’s leaders will be able to create a process from which an exceptional candidate will emerge,” he added. “President Joe Biden’s legacy and achievements are unmatched in modern history,” the US vice president said in her first public address from Washington. The White House tenant, she added, “is feeling better and recovering rapidly” from Covid.
