Pressure from within? Biden hints at Pelosi’s role in his decision to step aside

In a subtle yet telling admission, President Biden hinted at internal tensions within the Democratic Party as he explained his decision to step away from the 2024 race in a first interview since the announcement.

Citing concerns that continued resistance from influential figures like Nancy Pelosi could overshadow his campaign, Biden acknowledged the mounting pressure from his own party to exit gracefully.

"I was concerned if I stayed in the race, that would be the topic," he remarked, suggesting that Pelosi's critiques could have been a distraction.

Biden’s swift endorsement of Kamala Harris immediately following his withdrawal has only added to the whispers of a coordinated move to shift the party's direction.

Some prominent Republicans, including presidential nominee Donald Trump, are framing Biden’s exit as part of a broader strategy, suggesting that his decision might not have been entirely voluntary but rather influenced by strategic forces within the party.
