MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has urged US President Joe Biden to make a decision to give up his bid for reelection, the Politico website reported, citing sources.
Media previously reported that US Democratic House representatives are hoping that Pelosi will convince US President Joe Biden to withdraw as the Democratic presidential nominee.
Pelosi reportedly talked with Biden last week, saying that some Democrat lawmakers will only become louder in their complaints about the president's alleged political weakness, according to Politico. The former speaker also asked Biden to make a decision about stepping down in the near future.
Per one of Pelosi's allies, she could potentially go public with the demands for Biden to resign his candidacy. While she does not wish to call on Biden to resign, Pelosi will do everything she can to make this happen, this person said.
On June 27, Biden, 81, appeared confused and incoherent throughout his first debate with Trump, 78, reinforcing rather than alleviating ongoing concerns about his cognitive abilities. His poor performance has led some Democratic politicians and donors to call for his removal as a candidate.

Can anyone tell me what the heck this outfit called Sputnik News is?
The long knives are out behind the scenes, if he doesn’t drop out in a week it will get ugly.
Both Nancy and Joe’s fathers should have pulled out sooner.
Absolutely. In fact, if she should tell him that she'll retire if he'll step down. Lead by example Ms. Pelosi.
4 more years or much less!
That sounds just like Nancy off camera, behind the scenes.
Now’s your chance Biden, send a message! Put a Paul Bunyan-sized 30-ft bronze statue of DePape in front of Nanzi’s mansion! “If I had a hammer...”
It is unfortunate for America that her father did not “pull out”.
Been sayin’ it and sayin’ it. Ain’t I been sayin’ it? (Cue Randy Quaid/”Russell Case” from “Independence Day”): they KNOW they can’t steal it.
If they could, they would have no problem leaving Rutabaga in. This is as solid an admission from the DemoKKKrat cheaters that they screwed up, put all their eggs in the Lawfare basket, and now have no plan B.
Ramping up the pressure. 😏
Assassination of President Trump was Plan B.
Plan C is in play now.
I don’t care if they go to Plan Z.
They have lost.
They know they have lost.
They know they can’t steal it, kill President Trump, install Newsome, or do another damned thing.
It is beautiful to watch an enemy panic, like the Russians at Austerlitaz. Now let’s target Lake Satschan.
They are 4th down backed up in their own endzone. Biden is incapable of passing or handing off the ball. The Dems don't give up. They bring in a new quarterback to try a hail mary, Kamala Harris.
I think “they” could steal it but it would be too obvious, even for them.
Isn’t it true that if Biden hangs on through the election, the Biden family of grifters gets to keep the unspent campaign contributions as sort of a golden parachute?
On the other hand, if he drops out, then he is expected to turn it over to Harris?
I’m thinking the bribe for them to get out hasn’t gotten large enough yet. If they just stop spending on ads and organization, they could walk away with tens of millions.
All because Pedo Pete had a cold? C’mon man.
I think it’s theirs ONLY for campaign purposes.

Congress passed a law about this a few decades ago, when it temporarily got the spotlight; but, from what I have read, it has since been gutted with many loopholes.
The key is to "Retire" from politics. Then they get to keep unspent campaign funds.
That's a strong incentive for the Bidens to hang on...maybe tap the brakes on spending for the last month or so...not let their golden parachute go to Harris or the DNC.
If anyone is knowledgeable about the current law relating to a politician's retirement, I would welcome the information.
