"The only person that I spoke to about this was the president. Other people called me about what their views were about it, and -- but I rarely even returned a call, much less initiated one," Pelosi said.

Later, she added, "I wasn't asking him to step down. I was asking for a campaign that would win, and I wasn't seeing that on the horizon."
