Pelosi hints at something big coming

The Times stepped in it this morning when it reported that former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said, on “Morning Joe,” that the president should “reconsider” his decision to keep running. According to the paper, she said Joe Biden “should continue to weigh the matter, after he made it clear this week that he’s committed to staying in the race.” “Reconsider” is the problem. For instance, Colorado Senator Michael Bennett got on the TV last night to say the way things are going, Republican nominee Donald Trump is going to beat Biden and he’s going to do it “in a landslide.” “The White House in the time since that disastrous debate, I think, has done nothing to really demonstrate that they have a plan to win this election,” he said. The party had a week to squabble and now, he said, “it’s time for it to end.” By Monday afternoon, Democrats lined up to endorse him, including liberal Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who said that the question of whether Biden should keep running had been “settled.” But then came yesterday morning’s commentary by Nancy Pelosi and it hit me harder than anything that any other Democrat has said so far. As Montana’s Jon Tester put it : “President Biden has got to prove to the American people — including me — that he’s up to the job for another four years.” Biden has a plan.
