President Joe Biden is reportedly seething at former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) for not standing by him as he fights for his political life following his disastrous debate performance against former President Donald Trump late last month.
Pelosi met with dozens of Democratic lawmakers earlier this month to discuss next steps if Biden decides to drop out of the presidential amid facing serious concerns over mental fitness for office, Politico reported. One of the topics of discuss is how “party elites” anointing Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democrats’ presidential candidate could have damaging repercussions for the party come November.
More than three dozen Democratic U.S. lawmakers have called for Biden to end his presidential campaign as he continues to fall further behind Trump in polling.
CNN’s Kaitlan Collins reported Friday night that Biden was “seething tonight, with much of his anger directed at Nancy Pelosi.”
“That’s because some of the names that are calling for him to drop out of the race are her close allies in the view from Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, tonight where President Biden finds himself,” she added.
Numerous top Democrats, including Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), former President Barack Obama, and others all have encouraged Biden to strongly consider whether he has a realistic shot at beating Trump this fall.
CNN reported last week that in the future it will become “far more apparent than currently known” just how much Obama and Pelosi had their “fingerprints” all over the efforts to pressure Biden to drop out of the race.
