“He knows I love him very much.”
“That’s what I’m saying [Biden] “Who deserves to be on Mount Rushmore: Lincoln or Joe Biden?” Staal asked.
Pelosi avoided comparing Biden to Abraham Lincoln, instead pivoting to compare him to another figure. Republican Inscribed on the monument: Teddy Roosevelt.
“You have Teddy Roosevelt there. He’s brilliant. I’m not saying take him out. But you can add Biden,” Pelosi replied.
Elsewhere in the interview, Pelosi called Biden a “very influential president” and argued that he was “on top of his game” when he decided not to run for a second term a few weeks ago.
