Former House speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) privately told President Joe Biden last week that she fears his reelection campaign will hurt the Democratic Party as a whole in November.
"The speaker does not want to call on him to resign, but she will do everything in her power to make sure it happens," a person close to Pelosi told Politico, referring to Biden’s campaign.
Biden’s adamance to stay in the race has faded in recent weeks, as he went from constantly reiterating that he was 100 percent staying in the race to recently expressing he would suspend his campaign if doctors diagnosed him with a "medical condition"; he has since come down with COVID-19. According to several top Democrats, Biden may drop out of the presidential race as soon as this weekend, Axios reported.
During their conversation, Pelosi told Biden that national polls show that he cannot beat Republican nominee Donald Trump and that Biden could decimate Democrats’ chances of taking back the House if he continues his reelection efforts, CNN reported.
"There’s nothing subtle about Nancy," a second Pelosi ally told Politico. "She starts with the question: ‘What’s it take to win?’ Then works backwards."
