She's right, but she would have been much more right if she said it 2 years ago. Biden should have resigned when it was obvious his mind was failing. Kamala could have been the president, creating a record to run on, doing the full primary to fend off any challengers and making her case in each state.

Anyone can look back and tell you what we should have done. We need leaders who can look forward and tell us what to do next. Pelosi has never been that person.
