Pelosi To Biden: You Can’t Win.
“Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi privately told President Joe Biden in a recent conversation that polling shows that the president cannot defeat Donald Trump and that Biden could destroy Democrats’ chances of winning the House in November if he continues seeking a second term, according to four sources briefed on the call.
The president responded by pushing back, telling Pelosi he has seen polls that indicate he can win, one source said. Another one of the sources described Biden as getting defensive about the polls. At one point, Pelosi asked Mike Donilon, Biden’s longtime adviser, to get on the line to talk over the data.
This phone call would mark the second known conversation between the California lawmaker and Biden since the president’s disastrous debate on June 27. While the exact date of the conversation was not clear, one source described it as being within the last week. Pelosi and Biden also spoke in early July.”
The Democratic walls seem to be closing in on President Biden with most of the heavy hitters within the party urging him to pass the torch. He continues to be reluctant to toss in the hat just that quick with the hopes of gaining a second wind at some point that buoys him past the nay sayers and to a win in 2024. That has yet to happen with more calls everyday to allow the next generation to take the party reins.
