Pelosi highlighted Harris' prioritization of key issues like women's rights, national security, and the economy, emphasizing the importance of her leadership.
Regarding former President Trump's performance in the debate, Pelosi expressed her view that he appeared diminished and lacking in substance compared to Harris. She commended Harris for being articulate, knowledgeable, and herself throughout the debate, stating that she doesn't need advice on how to proceed.
When discussing the upcoming election, Pelosi emphasized the need for mobilization, messaging, and fundraising to support Harris' campaign. She stressed the importance of grassroots efforts and urged supporters to focus on getting out the vote in key battleground states.
Addressing concerns about potential political retribution, Pelosi acknowledged the seriousness of threats made by the former president, citing personal experiences of her family being targeted. She criticized the lack of immediate action by the Trump administration during the January 6th insurrection and called out his false claims about sending the National Guard.
Looking ahead, Pelosi underscored the urgency of winning the election and ensuring a strong Democratic presence in Congress. She highlighted the need for increased security measures to prevent future incidents like January 6th and expressed support for Hakeem Jeffries to become the Speaker of the House.
