Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi revealed that she has not had a conversation with President Joe Biden since he withdrew from the presidential race last month. When asked if she would like to speak with him in the future, Pelosi expressed her interest, stating, 'Yes.'
During an interview, Pelosi emphasized her admiration for Biden, citing a relationship that spans over 40 years. She expressed hope that their relationship remains intact, although she suggested directing inquiries about its status to Biden himself.
Following Biden's decision to step down from the Democratic ticket and endorse Vice President Kamala Harris, Pelosi reportedly shared private concerns with him. She allegedly conveyed polling data indicating that Biden might not be able to defeat former President Donald Trump and that his candidacy could jeopardize Democrats' chances of regaining control of the House in the upcoming November elections.
Regarding Harris, who recently secured enough votes from Democratic delegates to secure the party's nomination for president, Pelosi commended her political acumen. Pelosi highlighted Harris' successful navigation of a competitive primary race for California attorney general as evidence of her strategic capabilities.
Pelosi praised Harris for her adept handling of recent opportunities, noting her effective management of unfolding circumstances over the past few weeks. Pelosi's remarks underscored her confidence in Harris' political skills and ability to capitalize on emerging situations.
