Sen. Amy Klobuchar says Democrats would have been 'better served by a primary' in 2024

Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., on Sunday said that the Democratic Party would have been "better served by a primary" in the 2024 election

Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., said Sunday that the Democratic Party would have been “better served by a primary” in 2024 as she reflected on Joe Biden suspending his re-election campaign last year and endorsing Kamala Harris just months before the election.

“You know, everything we look at in a rearview mirror after you lose an election. Yes, we would have been served better by a primary. But we are where we are,” Klobuchar told NBC News’ “Meet the Press.”

She added, “I’m not interested in going backwards in time. I’m interested in going forward,” and said that she was focused on “helping the American people” under a Trump administration.

Klobuchar also faced questions about whether Harris’ loss to Trump was a sign that women can’t win presidential elections.

“I hope not,” Klobuchar told “Meet the Press” moderator Kristen Welker when asked whether the 2024 election means Democrats shouldn’t nominate a woman for president.
