Pelosi urges Biden to ‘make a decision’ quickly on presidential race
Veteran Democratic lawmaker Nancy Pelosi urged Joe Biden to “make a decision” quickly on whether he would continue his bid for re-election, stopping short of endorsing his bid for a second term as lawmakers debate the president’s political future.
“It’s up to the president to decide whether he’s going to run. We’re all encouraging him to make that decision because time is running out,” Pelosi, a former House speaker and one of the party’s most influential members of Congress, said during an interview Wednesday on MSNBC.
Pelosi implored Democrats to hold off on airing their grievances in public until after the NATO summit in Washington this week.
“It’s up to the president to decide whether he’s going to run. We’re all encouraging him to make that decision because time is running out,” Pelosi said.
