Pelosi warns that Biden is running out of time
(MENAFN) Former United States House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has expressed concern that "time is running short" for President Joe Biden to make a definitive decision about his reelection campaign, particularly following his recent poor debate performance against Donald Trump. Despite Biden's insistence that he will not withdraw from the race, Pelosi's remarks indicate rising apprehension within the Democratic Party regarding his candidacy.
In an interview with MSNBC on Wednesday, Pelosi acknowledged that the party is “not in lockstep” when it comes to supporting Biden’s campaign. However, she also commended the president for his performance at a NATO leaders’ summit held in Washington this week, highlighting his leadership on the international stage.
When asked whether she supports Biden as the Democratic candidate, Pelosi stated, “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.” She emphasized Biden's popularity, noting that he is “beloved” and “respected,” and that many people are eager for him to announce his plans. “I want him to do whatever he decides to do, and that’s the way it is,” she added.
There has been growing pressure from Democratic donors and officials for the 81-year-old Biden to reconsider his campaign, especially after the debate debacle against Trump two weeks ago. Nevertheless, Biden has maintained that only “God Almighty” could convince him to step back from the race.
Pelosi's comments came during her appearance on the 'Morning Joe' program, a show that Biden has called his favorite political news outlet. In the interview, she was joined by Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, a self-exiled Belarusian politician known for her role in the 2020 protests against President Alexander Lukashenko's reelection. Tikhanovskaya's presence underscored the broader political context in which these discussions are taking place, highlighting the challenges faced by leaders in the face of electoral adversity.
