On Friday, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) expressed her support for President Joe Biden’s re-election prospects while generating some confusion.
Pelosi stated during an interview with CNN’s Phil Mattingly that she was not in agreement with the host’s claim that Democrats are apprehensive about the favorable polling figures Trump has accumulated against Biden in the event of a rematch.
“This is a neck-and-neck race and no one feels very comfortable on the Democratic side of things that Donald Trump isn’t going to be the next president,” Mattingly stated.
“Well, I don’t think that nobody feels — I think many of us know that it is impossible for him to be the president again with what he is proposing,” Pelosi responded.
“Why do you say that?” Mattingly asked.
“Well, because when you’re talking about what he is talking about now with more tax cuts for corporate America, taking them down so low to the detriment of our budget and meeting the needs of people,” Pelosi said.
In recent weeks, President Biden and his campaign have directed their attention towards former President Trump, given the former’s consistent strong performance in state and national polls that compare the two candidates.
