Pelosi dodges on Biden reelection bid: 'I want him to do whatever he decides to do'
2024 Presidential Election,Joe Biden,Nancy Pelosi
Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi was non-committal Wednesday morning when asked if she supported President Joe Biden continuing his reelection bid — something the incumbent has repeatedly told Hill Democrats he would do.
"It's up to the president to decide if he is going to run," Pelosi said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” "We're all encouraging him to make that decision, because time is running short."
When pressed on her answer, as Biden has told Hill Democrats, donors and voters that he plans to stay in the race, Pelosi still demurred: “I want him to do whatever he decides to do.”
The morning appearance highlights the simmering Capitol Hill concerns about Biden’s viability against former President Donald Trump.
