Pete Buttigieg: ‘Biden Should Not Have Run’

WELKER: “I have to ask you about this new book, Vice President Kamala Harris, we are starting to see some excerpts. She writes about President Biden’s decision to run for reelection and she says this, quote, ‘It’s Joe and Jill’s decision, we all said that like a mantra, as if we’d all been hypnotized. Was it grace or was it recklessness? In retrospect, I think it was recklessness.’ You were in the president’s cabinet, of course. Do you believe it was recklessness for President Biden’s inner circle not to intervene sooner?”
Buttigieg: “He should not have run. And if he had made that decision sooner, we might have been better off. But it literally was his decision. Nobody else was able to make that decision. And now in front of us, we’re confronted with the decisions that come next, whether that’s inside of a political party or movement or as we’re all weighing right now, in our own lives, as Americans, as a country. And that’s where we’ve got to focus.”
