2:27Now PlayingPBS News special correspondent and former anchor Judy Woodruff and House Speaker Emerita Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., reflected on the moment before them at the 2024 Democratic National Convention: Voters once again on the cusp of putting a woman in the nation's highest office.
"This is not about electing a woman president. This is about electing the best, strongest person and I know her very well," Pelosi said of Vice President Kamala Harris, who will formally accept her nomination as the Democratic Party's presidential candidate later this week.
"I know her personally as a person of deep faith, who cares about the community and demonstrated that all the time. I know her officially as a person very strong in her knowledge and her eloquence in talking about it as well," she said.
Pelosi also reflected on the challenges she faced in her own decadeslong political career and the "heartbreak" of Hillary Clinton's loss in 2016.
"Hillary, although she didn't win the election, she won the campaign. She took women all the way down the field," Pelosi said. "That campaign, I think, has been a trailblazer for Kamala Harris."
