Former Chairman of the District DPRD Nancy Pelosi said he had not asked the President Joe Biden to resign from his Democratic seat and not participate in calls on the matter, despite reports that he is leading a pressure campaign to withdraw his candidacy.
According to The Hill, during an appearance on CBS News Sunday Morning, he categorically chose not to disclose the details of his private conversation with the president, but said he was not leading a pressure campaign.
“No, I’m not the leader of the pressure party. Well, let me say things I didn’t do. I didn’t call a single person. I didn’t call a single person. I could always tell him, ‘I never called anyone.’ What I’m saying is, I’m sure the president is going to make the right choice for our country, whatever he’s going to do, and I’m going to take it anyway,” he said.
Pelosi said: “The bottom line is, whatever they decide, we need to have a more aggressive campaign.”
In response to claims that Biden was “furious” with her, Pelosi expressed her love for him, saying, “Well, he knows that I love him very much.”
The House speaker said his main goal was to preserve Biden’s accomplishments. During the CBS interview, Pelosi highlighted the President’s successes and praised his performance at the NATO summit, adding, “So he’s in a good place to make any decisions — he’s at the top of the game.”
“The president of the United States like that, is the president of the Mount Rushmore of the United States,” he said, then added, “Well, you’ve got Teddy Roosevelt there, and he’s great. I’m not saying take him down. But you can add Biden, ” he added.
During an interview with ABC News, George Stephanopoulos asked Pelosi to provide more details about her involvement in the choice of Biden to withdraw from the race. Pelosi said: “Well, I respect the president. I think he will be … viewed as one of the most important presidents in our country.
“It’s always about him. And why I said I didn’t call – because people said I burned my airway. No, I didn’t. The only person I talked to about it was the president. Other people called me about what they thought and, but, I rarely even return the call, let alone the one that started,” he added.
According to the New York Times, Pelosi said in a recent interview ahead of the release this week of a book about her years in Congress that: “My goal is to defeat. Donald Trump“And if you make a decision to beat someone else, you make all the decisions to vote. You’re not messing around, OK? What’s going forward to achieve that goal? I thought we should have a better campaign. .”
Nancy Pelosi, in her book “The Art of Power,” recounts the moments when she had to make important decisions during important events including the Iraq War, the devastating financial crisis, the enactment of the Affordable Care Act, and various confrontations with Donald Trump . when he was president.
According to the former speaker, the urgency to end Trump’s political career is greater than the need to show respect to Biden, especially since Democrats are at high risk of losing control of the House and Senate if the president remains on the ticket. He appears willing to accept the consequences of angering Biden and his closest advisers, given the circumstances.
Pelosi downplayed her influence on Biden’s decision to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race, maintaining that the choice was entirely her own. He emphasized that his primary motivation, which is evident in his polls, fundraising efforts, and personal discussions with the president and his fellow Democrats, is the sole purpose of defeating Trump.
Pelosi insisted that she did not call her fellow Democrats, trying to counter accusations that she had planned Biden’s departure, despite their long-standing alliance.
However, if the Democrats emerge victorious this fall after facing the possibility of a devastating defeat, Pelosi’s strategic move, coupled with a personal plea made to Biden by Democratic congressional leaders “Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, both from New York,” It could be one of the most important actions, the New York Times reported.
Pelosi’s name has been synonymous with authority and influence in the nation’s capital for more than two decades. In his book, he aims to recount the journey that led him to become one of the most powerful figures in American politics.
Pelosi rose to prominence during an era when the halls of Congress were considered the domain of men, and women were relegated to positions below the “marble ceiling.” This term, used in his writings, refers to building materials that are ubiquitous Capitol Hill – a substance that is harder to break than glass.
“They explained to me that the House had an order, that other male representatives had been waiting diligently for the opening of the top leadership position, that I was cutting and canceling the established order,” Pelosi wrote. .
