"Back to being angry": Pelosi "working the phones" to oust Biden as Democratic mutiny continues

Salon  

Though the calls for President Joe Biden to withdraw from the presidential race quieted after the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, prominent Democrats are still working behind the scenes to urge their presumptive nominee to step aside, with Politico reporting that former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is leading the effort. According to Politico, Pelosi is “convinced Biden will lose” and has been “working the phones” since the presidential debate last month to try and oust Biden as the Democratic candidate. Sources close to Pelosi told Martin she’s made calls to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and told a former elected official that “Biden’s legacy can’t be destroying the party.” Pelosi also reportedly spoke with former President Barack Obama; both Democrats share concerns over Biden’s ability to beat Trump, CNN reported. One Democratic lawmaker told CNN it was “counterproductive” to publicly call on Biden to step aside right now, as the image of a unified Democratic Party is important as ever. Democratic pollster Stanley Greenberg, who advised Bill Clinton’s two winning presidential campaigns, has been sending memos sharing his opinion that Biden is going to lose the election, sources told CNN.
