(ReclaimingAmerica.net) – Nancy Pelosi recently dropped a bomb when she admitted she has not talked to or called Joe Biden after she and others pressured him to step down from his reelection campaign more than two weeks ago.
Watch the video further down this post.
During an appearance on CNN, Pelosi said their last conversation took place before Biden announced on July 21 that he was ending his bid for a second term.
“I was asking for a campaign that would win,” Pelosi recounted of their conversation on CBS News Sunday. “And I wasn’t seeing that on the horizon.”
Yet, she has denied rumors that she spearheaded the Democrats’ push for Biden to withdraw from the race.
When asked if everything was “OK” with their relationship, the former House speaker did not give a direct answer.
“You’d have to ask him, but I hope so,” Pelosi stated, “Look, I love Joe Biden, respected him for over 40 years.”
Moreover, sources previously told CNN and Politico that the ex-House speaker warned the 81-year-old Democrat that his polling against former President Donald Trump indicated he could not win in November.
Biden reportedly pushed back and was “seething” at Pelosi during the tough-love conversation, sources told CNN.
In turn, Pelosi has tried to distance herself from claims that she led the effort to push Biden out of the race—she has been complimenting his legacy as president instead.
She also praised Kamala Harris, who replaced Biden at the top of the Democrat ticket.
Additionally, Pelosi called the former prosecutor “very politically astute,” as demonstrated by her win in a competitive primary for California’s attorney general.
