Former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre dodged when asked by "The View" if former President Biden would have beaten President Donald Trump had he stayed in the 2024 race.
Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin referenced how Jean-Pierre described the sudden Democratic opposition to Biden after his rough June debate performance as a "firing squad" at an event for the Institute of Politics at Harvard University on Wednesday.
Griffin then posed the question, "Do you believe that Joe Biden would have won if he had stayed in, and a follow-up to that, do you think Kamala Harris would have had a better shot had she had more time?"
"I was asked a question, I answered it honestly and how I felt at the moment, I was the one going to the podium almost every day after that happened, and it was shocking what I saw. But I also, I can’t speculate, right? I don’t know what would have happened. I really – and anybody that says they do, they don’t really know, and so I don’t want to go to rehash the past," Jean-Pierre responded.
