Pelosi says she spoke with Biden ahead of his withdrawal 'asking for a campaign that would win'
Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, in an interview with Good Morning America anchor George Stephanopoulos on Monday morning, said that she spoke with President Joe Biden ahead of his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race "asking for a campaign that would win." She also said Biden was "the only person that I spoke to" about Biden possibly withdrawing.
"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."
