Appearing on Pod Save America, Jen Psaki explained why she thought Kamala Harris would make a perfect replacement for Joe Biden if he were to drop out of the Presidential race.
Psaki is obviously close with Biden, having served as his Press Secretary early on in his tenure. She would later leave her post and become a host of her own show on MSNBC.
The pundit is still fond of Biden due to their shared history, but she is also worried about the looming race. Psaki noted that Biden's fall in the polls could hurt Democrats in down-ballot elections around the country.
Psaki told host Jon Lovett, "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."
The former Biden continued, "I don’t why there hasn’t been kind of an overwhelming ‘Kamala would be a great president and she would be a fierce, amazing campaigner,’ right? But that’s not typically the message. I’m observing what people are saying. It’s typically ‘don’t take it away from Kamala Harris if it’s open, that would be unfair."
