Pelosi Delivers Speech To N.C. Democrats With Notable Absence — Biden's Future As Nominee
Huff PostLOADING ERROR LOADING RALEIGH, N.C. — In a state expected to help decide the presidency, House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi did little to quell speculation on President Joe Biden’s path forward as the Democratic nominee to a room full of North Carolina Democrats on Saturday. Pelosi addressed more than 900 people at the North Carolina Democratic Party fundraiser in Raleigh — an event billed as the annual “Unity Dinner” during a time of significant national discord over how the party will proceed in the 2024 presidential election.

Despite a swell of Democratic lawmakers calling for Biden to drop out, none of North Carolina’s seven Democratic representatives have publicly signaled support for finding a new nominee to lead the ticket.
