Jill Biden Opens Up About 'Disappointing' Role Nancy Pelosi Played In Joe Biden Exiting Race
HuffPost
In rare remarks from the first lady, Jill Biden touched on the former House Speaker's rumored push to get President Joe Biden to drop out.
First lady Jill Biden is expressing her disappointment with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the longtime lawmaker’s widely reported role in persuading President Joe Biden’s decision to drop his reelection bid.
The first lady touched on the subject in an exit interview with the Washington Post on Wednesday. “It’s been on my mind a lot lately,” Biden told the paper. “We were friends for 50 years. It was disappointing.”
President Joe Biden performed disastrously in the June debate against his opponent, Republican then-nominee Donald Trump, and made several public missteps in the following weeks that prompted massive concern about his chances in the election within Democratic Party circles.
Pelosi reportedly had pressured the president to reconsider his run before he ultimately announced his exit in July. She has declined to confirm many specifics, but in August admitted that she will need to “come to terms” with her “own role” in his choice.
“Let’s just say I was disappointed with how it unfolded,” Jill Biden told the Post. “I learned a lot about human nature.”
