Democratic megadonor John Morgan appeared on CUOMO Monday night to discuss the failed Harris-Walz campaign, asserting that former President Barack Obama and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi did not want Vice President Kamala Harris to be the Democratic nominee to succeed President Joe Biden.
Biden stepped down from the presidential race in July under pressure from prominent Democratic figures, endorsing Harris within an hour. However, former President Obama took five days to offer his endorsement of Harris on his X page.
“He did not want to go gently,” Morgan said of Biden. “He nominated her, basically Obama did not want her. Obama did not endorse her for five days, Pelosi did not want her.” According to Morgan, Biden’s endorsement of Harris was an “F you” to Obama and Pelosi.
“I think it was to say, F you to Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama and every representative that was pushing him out… and I think he was pissed,” Morgan told host Chris Cuomo.
“Pelosi told her California delegation, there will be a conference, there will be a caucus, there will be a convention,” Morgan said, which was mentioned several times during the recently concluded campaign by Republican politicians and commentators during the process. “We basically ran on this deal where ‘democracy, democracy!’ And then we didn’t have democracy in picking our nominee.”
