Dem Rep. on Harris Dropping out: ‘Very Difficult for a Woman of Color’ to Win Dem Primary

‘And at the end of the day, I think that she will still have a major part in this election’

EXCERPT:

BOLDUAN: “I do want to turn to the presidential election because you endorsed Kamala Harris for president in September."
GALLEGO: "Yeah."
BOLDUAN: "At the time I recall and I look back, you called her bold and compassionate and a capable commander-in-chief. And you said that I know that she is best equipped to serve as our next president, and she dropped out of the race on Tuesday. What was missing, what went wrong from your perspective?”
GALLEGO: “Look, it's a very crowded field. I think it is very difficult for a woman of color especially the first woman of color to run for office at such a very intense time when it comes to all the levels of social media and media. And at the end of the day, you know, I think that she'll still have a major part in this election and I still think that she would have been our best candidate to win this year and defeat Donald Trump.”
