MSNBC’s Mitchell to Pelosi: Will Biden Run if Something ‘Bad Happens’ to Clinton?

‘I think that all of the candidates on the Democratic side are going to contribute to the success of our eventual Democratic nominee which at the moment appears to be Hillary Clinton’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
MITCHELL: "House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi joins me now. Leader, welcome. Very good to see you."
PELOSI: "Good to see you."
MITCHELL: "You can sense the regret. He said he regrets it every day. Is Joe Biden still an option if something were to happen, something, you know, really bad happen to the front-running nominee?"
PELOSI: "Let’s go with the candidates we have for now. They have made an intellectual political personal commitment to the race and let’s watch the race as it goes forward."
MITCHELL: "Watching the race as it goes forward, a lot of people, Democrats, tell me privately they are worried about Hillary Clinton’s progress or lack of progress, that Bernie Sanders has surprised. He is now ahead in new Hampshire, that’s next door, but he is now just a few points behind her in our latest poll within the margin of error in Iowa. A very surprising finish in Iowa. What happens to her if she loses Iowa and New Hampshire? Don’t people start revisiting, are we putting our money on the wrong person?"
PELOSI: "After Iowa and New Hampshire is Nevada and South Carolina and other states. But I think that all of the candidates on the democratic side are going to contribute to the success of our eventual democratic nominee which at the moment appears to be Hillary Clinton and I think the respect that everyone has for each other and the people who support our candidates is going to be essential to our success."
