According to a forthcoming book by ABC News correspondent <strong>Jonathan Karl<\/strong>, Pelosi called Harris \u201cbrilliantly astute\u201d and said she had \u201cfull confidence\u201d in her ability to defeat then-Republican nominee <strong>Donald Trump<\/strong>. Her quick endorsement, coming less than 24 hours after Biden\u2019s withdrawal, surprised several senior Democrats \u2014 including Obama, who had urged party leaders to allow \u201ca process\u201d before backing a successor.<\/p>\n<p>In his book <em>Retribution<\/em>, Karl reports that Obama and Pelosi had previously agreed to avoid early endorsements, fearing the appearance of \u201canointing\u201d Harris without an open contest. When Pelosi moved ahead anyway, Obama called her directly to express frustration. \u201cThat train has left the station,\u201d Pelosi reportedly replied, citing Biden\u2019s immediate endorsement of Harris. While one Obama ally described the exchange as \u201cgood-natured ribbing,\u201d a Pelosi confidant told Karl the former president was \u201cgenuinely irritated.\u201d On MSNBC\u2019s <em>Morning Joe<\/em>, Karl said Obama\u2019s irritation stemmed from what he described as a \u201cpact\u201d between the two to hold some kind of mini-primary or delegate process rather than an automatic coronation.<\/p>\n<p>Karl added that Obama questioned Pelosi during the call, saying, \u201cNancy, what was that all about?\u201d though interpretations of his tone differ. Obama waited five days before publicly endorsing Harris, fueling speculation about his doubts regarding her electability. By that time, leading Democrats \u2014 from <strong>Gretchen Whitmer<\/strong> to <strong>Gavin Newsom<\/strong> \u2014 had already rallied behind Harris. Ultimately, Karl writes, Pelosi \u201chad no choice\u201d but to stand by her endorsement. In the general election, <strong>Trump<\/strong> defeated Harris decisively, winning both the <strong>Electoral College<\/strong> and the <strong>popular vote<\/strong>, marking the first Republican popular-vote victory since <strong>George W. Bush<\/strong> in 2004.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former President Barack Obama was reportedly caught off guard and angered when former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi swiftly endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic Party\u2019s&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2736,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2735","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.5 -
