00:00Congresswoman, I know I only have you for just another minute, so I do just want to

00:04ask a question. Pivot to President Biden. Now, he had a historic debate two weeks ago

00:09against former President Donald Trump. Since then, he's been facing mounting calls to drop

00:14out of the race. Yesterday, he held a press conference. What do you make of the whole

00:18situation? Do you think President Biden should drop out of the race?

00:22I think the Democrats are in chaos. I think it's a political impossibility for President

00:27Biden to drop out at this point. There are delegates and people who have already cast

00:32their vote. When the Democrats talk about undermining democracy, nothing is a bigger

00:37slap on democracy than to undermine your own primary process. People voted for Joe Biden

00:42for him to come out. Why do they want him out? They want him out because he's not leading

00:46in the polls. It's pure politics. Whenever you hear the Democrats say, our democracy,

00:52you should fill in the blank with our power, they are worried about power and that President

00:56Biden will not deliver them the White House and majorities in the Senate and in the House

01:00of Representatives. That's the only reason that they're gunning against him. That's the

01:03only reason Hakeem Jeffries had a secret meeting or a meeting with President Biden last night.

01:08They have to get through this convention because if they open up the convention, you could

01:12have anybody in there. And that's exactly how they undermine their own primary process,

01:16their own democratic process in 2020 when they forced Amy Klobuchar and Pete Buttigieg

01:22out because they knew that Bernie Sanders could potentially be their nominee. Not a

01:27Democrat, not someone who could beat Donald Trump. They forced them out and forced in

01:31Joe Biden. They have to reap what they sow. This is who they've got and they've got a

01:35problem and they've got chaos. But I think they're going to be stuck with Joe Biden at

01:39least through the convention.
