Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) refused to tell CNN if she felt Vice President Kamala Harris was the best fit as Joe Biden’s running mate in his re-election bid.
Said Pelosi: “Biden thinks so, and that’s what matters.”
When Anderson Cooper followed up, she said: “She’s the vice president of the United States. People say to me, ‘Why isn’t she doing this or that?’ Because she’s the vice president. That’s the job description. You don’t do that much.”
