Pelosi Questions Whether Biden Wrote Letter Saying He’d Stay in 2024 Race: ‘It Didn’t Sound Like Joe’
Ex-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has openly doubted whether President Biden wrote the letter he sent to Democrats last month insisting he was “firmly committed” to staying in the race.
Biden, 81, sent the missive to congressional Dems to try to put to rest any notion that he’d exit the race over widespread concerns about his mental acuity after his June 27 debate performance against GOP foe Donald Trump. Two weeks later, Biden dropped out.
“I didn’t accept the letter as anything but a letter,” Pelosi told New York Times‘ columnist Ezra Klein in an interview last week. “I mean, there are some people who are unhappy with the letter.
“Let me say it differently. Some said that some people were unhappy with the letter. I’ll put it in somebody else’s mouth. It didn’t sound like Joe Biden to me. It really didn’t,” she said.
Two days after Biden sent the letter, Pelosi (D-Calif.), 84, turned heads with an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” rumored to be one of the president’s favorite political programs.
