Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D, said Sunday that Democrats are "moving forward" after President Joe Biden ended his reelection campaign and passed the baton to Vice President Kamala Harris.
"This Week" co-anchor Jonathan Karl on Sunday pressed Klobuchar on comments Biden made, saying that Democrats were concerned that his presence atop the ticket this November would drag down House and Senate candidates. Klobuchar didn't speculate on what caused Biden to step down from the 2024 presidential race but cast Harris' candidacy as a turning of the page in the Democratic Party.
"He made the honorable decision, he took the honorable path. And for me, I am not looking in the rearview mirror about who said what, and who hurt whose feelings. For me, this is about, as Kamala Harris has said over and over again, this is about moving forward and not going backward," Klobuchar said.
"People are interested in moving forward, and they respect President Biden. I love Joe Biden, but we are moving forward as a party and as a nation," she said.
