The Trinity Washington University alum was outspoken about how the former Senator from Delaware took so long to hand the baton to Vice President Kamala Harris in July 2024.
"The anticipation was that, if the president were to step aside, that there would be an open primary," Nancy explained during a November 2024 interview with reporter Lulu Garcia-Navarro. "And as I say, Kamala may have, I think she would have done well in that and been stronger going forward."

When the former California representative was asked if her relationship with Joe was "OK" after his endorsement of Kamala, 60, she told CNN, "You'd have to ask him, but I hope so."
"Look, I love Joe Biden, respected him for over 40 years," she explained of where they stood.
However, CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins alleged the outgoing commander-in-chief was less than thrilled by his longtime pal's political moves against him. "The party that Biden has devoted his life to is unleashing a new and really public effort to push him out of challenging Donald Trump for the White House," she claimed last summer before Joe officially stepped down.

"A slew of House Democrats have joined two more prominent Democratic senators tonight in calling for Biden to step aside," the journalist added.
