Former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, who now looks competent in that role by comparison thanks to Karine Jean-Pierre, admitted that in the wake of Donald Trump’s landslide victory, Democrats are lost.
Speaking on NBC’s Meet the Press, Psaki was asked how Democrats would regain their footing in the face of a Republican trifecta.
" I think Democrats are in the wilderness… there is no clear leader of the party. Joe Biden is going to be out of office shortly. Kamala Harris just lost the election. There are a lot of governors and other people who might emerge that we don’t know about yet, but there is no clear leader of the party right now," she said.
She went on to argue that Harris’ loss offers “emerging Democratic leaders” the opportunity to take charge of the party.
"That, to me, is an opportunity because people have to decide. Nobody’s given it, right. You seize the mantle, or you don’t. Are you going to be the person who decides who’s the right person to stand up against Trump? Or are you going to be the person who brings the country together? Are you going to be the person who talks about the economy and in ways that people understand? There are lots of ways to do it. I don’t know who’s going to emerge, but that’s the moment we’re in right now."
As for who that leader is, she’ll have to circle back.
