Top Democrats are casting doubt on President Biden's statements that he intends to seek re-election in November and defy calls to drop out of the presidential race.
Biden has stated several times since his damaging debate performance last month that he will not drop out of the race. However, prominent House and Senate Democrats have since made comments that suggest his candidacy may still be up in the air.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., insinuated that there is still a decision to be made on whether Biden will seek re-election, despite the president already stating on several occasions that he is staying in the race.
"It's up to the president to decide if he is going to run. We are all encouraging him to make that decision because time is running short," Pelosi told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Wednesday. "He's beloved, he's respected, and people want him to make that decision."
Asked about Biden already making it clear he intends to run, Pelosi again suggested that there is a still a decision to be made.
"I want him to do whatever he decides to do, and that's the way it is. Whatever he decides, we go with," Pelosi said.
