PELOSI ANSWERS IF ‘EVERYTHING IS OK’ BETWEEN HER AND BIDEN: ‘YOU HAVE TO ASK HIM’
Nancy Pelosi joined the co-hosts “Morning Joe” in July, after the president’s debate, saying, “It’s up to the president to decide whether he’s going to run,” despite Biden’s repeated assurances that he would stay in the race after several calls with Democrats and donors.
The media appearance was perceived as another opportunity for the president to drop out of the race, which ultimately happened.
After Vice President Kamala Harris lost the election, Pelosi nominated Biden should have dropped sooner. Biden has since expressed regret for dropping out and insisted he could have beaten Trump.
“She was told they’re not over it, don’t come in anymore because he’s blaming her,” a person familiar with the spat between Pelosi and Biden aides told Politico.
