Nancy Pelosi Admits She Pressured Joe Biden to Drop Out
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has admitted her role in pressuring President Joe Biden to drop out of the 2024 presidential race.
During an interview with The New Yorker, Pelosi shed light on reports that have emerged in past weeks, indicating that high-ranking Democrats were working together to persuade Biden to drop out of the race over fears that the president was unable to defeat former President Donald Trump in November.
Sources have indicated that such an effort was led by former President Barack Obama, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N) and Pelosi.
Pelosi’s latest comments prove that there was, in fact, a coordinated effort among Democrats to remove Biden from the ticket.
It appears that the effort was launched shortly after Biden’s poor debate performance against Trump in June.
The New York Post reported that Obama, Pelosi and other Democrats had threatened to remove Biden through the 25th Amendment if he refused to step aside.
On Thursday, Pelosi became the first high-ranking politician to confirm as such.
The California congresswoman said that although she holds high praise for the president, she wanted him to make a decision that would benefit the Democratic Party.
“I love him so much,” Pelosi said.
“I think he’s been a really fantastic president of the United States. So I really wanted him to make a decision of a better campaign,” she added.
“Because they were not facing the fact of what was happening,” she continued. “Just a little background. I’ve never been that impressed with his political operation.”
Pelosi was asked to clarify if her comments were about Biden’s political operation.
In response, she said, “Yeah, I’m not. I mean, I just haven’t. They won the White House, bravo.”
“But so my concern was this ain’t happening and we have to make a decision for this to happen and the president has to make the decision for that to happen. Let me just say, I won’t say necessarily I knew what I was doing at that time. I knew what I was doing in the whole thing, not just that ship,” Pelosi said.
The interviewer then asked Pelosi to reveal what her underlying plan was.
“That Donald Trump would never set foot in the White House again,” the California Democrat replied.
Trending Politics noted that the revelation comes as details continue to circulate over the “coup,” as some are referring to it, against Biden.
Obama, Pelosi and Schumer reportedly favored holding a “mini primary” at the Democratic National Convention, at which point the conference would decide on a new nominee.
However, Biden’s decision to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris led the plan to backfire, with Obama angered by it.
“Obama knows she’s just incompetent — the border czar who never visited the border, saying that all migrants should have health insurance. She cannot navigate the landmines that are ahead of her,” a source told the New York Post.

The California congresswoman, (Pelosi,) said that although she holds high praise for the president, she wanted him to make a decision that would benefit the Democratic Party. Notice she didn't say, that would benefit Americans or our country.

Obama knows Harris is just incompetent...but yet he still gave Harris his endorsement. Obama is another one who cares about power and party over Americans and the country.
And now, I just recently read that many of Obama's staff will now be working for/with Harris, which only means that Obama will also be working Kamala's puppet strings as he did Biden's.
The Vice President has hired some of Obama's presidential campaign staff because that's what you do! You hire staffers that worked on a winning campaign.
But make no mistake, Pelosi and Obama would rather NOT have Harris as 47th President if they had anything to say about it. She's more moderate than they'd prefer. And with the possibility of her serving eight years in the White House, that could be 12 years of a Democrat president NOT named Warren, Sanders, Newsom, etc.
Why would any sensible person knowingly go along with this? Are they deliberately ignoring? Easily deceived? Not mentally capable of voting? @BizSuitStacy
I think you know enough about Obama. But you need to read up more on Pelosi.
She was an effective Speaker when combating Trump. And I appreciate that. But she's way over on the left. Always has been, always will. Especially on matters of national defense. Need I remind you of her opposition to Gulf War II and her criticisms of President Bush.
Don't go by voting records alone. They don't tell you committee votes, voting one way because of a last-minute poison pill, bills introduced that never get to a vote, etc.
Trump likes to complain that Harris once supported a single-payer health insurance system. Well, so did he. Neither do now, so why bring it up? Because he knows MAGAs will believe him about Harris and refused to believe the FACT that Trump supported it as well - even though he WROTE that in one of his OWN BOOKS!
