The exact circumstances that led to President Joe Biden's dramatic withdrawal from the 2024 election race have been the topic of frenzied conversation for weeks.
Ever since Biden tweeted his digitally signed letter announcing the decision on Sunday, June 21, the line from the White House has been clear: The president was not pushed. This was his choice alone.
Sympathetic insiders described a weekend of 'reflection' for the president – who had recently tested postive for COVID and was holed up in isolation with his wife Jill and a handful of trusted aides at the Biden family home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.
On the Saturday night, and after weeks of insisting that he would run again, something 'shifted', the Biden insiders said. The president asked his closest advisors to begin drafting his letter. Suddenly, it was all over.
That much may be true. But these insiders have continually left out a crucial piece of the puzzle that explains why Biden's thinking changed so rapidly and which the Mail can now exclusively reveal for the first time.
As Biden nursed his COVID infection that fateful Saturday, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sent an urgent message to the president: She was prepared to go public with her concerns that he could not defeat Donald Trump in November.
The ultimatum was clear: Drop out now – or Pelosi trashes her political ally, and friend of over 50 years, on the global stage.
Four sources with intimate knowledge of the situation independently claimed that such a message was relayed, with one particularly well-placed source saying that a phone call took place in which Pelosi told Biden she would publish brutal polling figures to back up her attack.

Pelosi knows where a few of Pedo Pete's bodies are buried. She'll be just another House puke, after losing control TWICE, once Trump is inaugurated. How embarrassing.
I want the Biden’s to be TOTALLY HUMILIATED and FURIOUS at their “FRIENDS”!
Because Nancy Pelosi wants the story out there now?
Why? Why is she burning a 50 year friendship for Harris now, just before the convention? Is she trying to force Biden to resign and elevate Harris to POTUS? Does Pelosi think that weakening Biden on the international stage by this internal humiliation and backstabbing will make him step down "for the good of the country?"
Is that her endgame?

[Why? Why is she burning a 50 year friendship for Harris now, just before the convention?]
Maybe Nancy has some bizarre plan to ascend to the Residency through intrigue? /shiny side out
Stalin had friends too. Not forever friends, obviously.
I predict Jill Biden will write a blockbuster book……….
No way Joe quit because Nancy showed him some “bad polling numbers”. Not only are poll numbers unreliable but they can also change. Joe was adamant he was staying in the race. She either bribed or threatened him.
Didn’t most of them end up in Siberia?
DOCTOR! Jill has been very quiet lately.
Notice the foreign MSM has to get this out>> “As Biden nursed his COVID infection...” The dems will blame his withdrawal on kovid krap for a century.
He was her “friend” as long as she could get something from him. Once that ended, the “friendship” ended.
Most people make the mistake of thinking office friends are "true friends".
I honestly believes she thinks she is still the Speaker and if Harris moves up she is automatically the VP.
Hat tip anonymous FReeper.
because it’s not a real friendship. It’s a political relationship which only exists as long as it is useful.
With friends like her, who needs enemas?
I bet Nancy has it set up some how for Joe to appear the mastermind behind January 6th.
She threatened him with the 25th Amendment. Either you leave on your own or we pop you out.
Having Biden resign and Harrass sworn in, that’s their next step in holding on to power. I hear it being predicted on talk radio and podcasts. Won’t be surprised at all if, when this happens.
