A chorus of reports rang out over the weekend suggesting that President Joe Biden is considering stepping aside from the race for the White House. NBC News joined that group, going as far as to report that Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has concerns about the viability of Biden. She told Jen Psaki she was angry at the suggestion.
While appearing on Psaki’s MSNBC show Inside, Nancy Pelosi told the former White House Press Secretary that she took umbrage with the insinuation that she was part of a group suggesting the President drop out of the race.
“We have informed NBC that that was not true. It couldn’t be further from the truth of anything. I’d been criticized for being so clear about Joe Biden and his decision about running for office. So that completely was not true. I don’t know where they got that. But I’ve had a problem with NBC News and their vibe and some of the things they put forth. It’s why you don’t see me on Meet the Press or any of those shows,” Pelosi told Jen Psaki.
“But the fact is, no, I never said that. And I don’t know that the other people they claim said that said that.”
A report from former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly claims Biden has determined that it is best if he steps away from the White House race. He added that the campaign was searching for an answer on when the best time to announce such a move would be, but that has not been confirmed as of yet.
