Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) claimed this week that Vice President Kamala Harris won the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination in an “open” contest despite not facing any competition as the entire party establishment rallied around her.
Pelosi made the claim during an interview Friday night on HBO’s “Real Time” with liberal comedian Bill Maher.
“Many times when I’m encouraging people to run, especially more women, to run for office,” she said, adding that she believes there is “nothing more wholesome in our political process than that — aren’t we excited about?”
Maher responded, “yes,” drawing laughs from the audience.
“Yes, and sometimes you’re discouraging people to run,” he said in reference to Pelosi reportedly stabbing President Joe Biden in the back by working behind the scenes to force him out of the race. “We’re not going to get into that.”

Pelosi smiled and responded: “Well, people make their own decisions.”
“Oh, absolutely they do,” Maher responded, causing the audience to erupt in laughter.
Pelosi claimed that Harris won an “open” contest for the nomination despite having no challengers and the entire party falling in line with endorsements from Biden, and former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.
“Anybody could have gotten in,” she claimed. “She wrapped it up, you have to give her credit for that.”
