Pelosi says 'it's up to the president' to decide whether to stay in the race
Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi says it's up to President Joe Biden to decide whether to continue his reelection campaign. Pelosi's remarks Wednesday on MSNBC show how unsettled the questions over Biden's candidacy remain among Democrats, despite Biden's insistence he is staying in the race. Pelosi of California has been widely watched for signals of how top Democrats are thinking about Biden’s imperiled candidacy. Her comments will be viewed as important for the party’s direction as they weigh possible alternatives in the campaign against Republican Donald Trump. Her remarks come after Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet of Colorado said Democrats could lose in a landslide to Trump and face a moral choice confronting a potential second Trump presidency.
