Nancy Pelosi On Morning Joe:
PELOSI: "It's up to the president to decide if he is going to run.
We're all encouraging him to to make that decision. Because time is running short."
LEMIRE: Do you want him to run
PELOSI: "I want him to do whatever he decides to do. And that's the way it is. Whatever he decides we go with."
PELOSI then says he wants Biden to deal with the NATO conference and then restart the discussion on Biden's future.
"Let's just hold off.
Whatever you're thinking, either tell somebody privately, but you don't have to put that out on the table until we see how we go this week."
.Here are the top political news stories for today.
This statement from Pelosi is earth shaking. Hardly an endorsement of Biden from congress’s most prominent Democrat.
@AmazedVetoDemocrat2yrs2Y
No it's not.
She's just hitting the Pause Button, waiting for next week when presstitutes like yourself will sweep Joe off the front page and spend all day every day attacking the RNC during their convention.
@BitternEmmaDemocrat2yrs2Y
She’s consistent- she doesn’t overreact to media swarms. She reminded us that it’s his decision. People are reading too much into it.
@FreeTradeDovesDemocrat2yrs2Y
Pelosi stepped aside as Speaker/Minority Leader because it was time. She encouraged others of her generation in Leadership to do the same. She is acutely aware that Biden can come off as being selfish in this if he's not careful, and tear down his (and her) accomplishments
@S3curityHyenaRepublican2yrs2Y
Dr Jill and Crackhead will fight back like hell
We may see a highly jacked up Joe on the 'Big Boy Presser'
Another Thursday
just can't wait
@IndependenceCodForward2yrs2Y
Pelosi such a successful speaker that anything she says or does will be hailed as masterful, but can't help thinking this is much about maintaining that rep as anything else. Send a message to the audience of one, but don't lay a marker that makes you look weak when he ignores.
Biden has said the decision is made. The fact that Pelosi is talking like it isn't is the most telling thing here.
Her statements have gotten less and less supportive over time. But this waiting game she describes won’t help
@L1bertyMackenzieForward2yrs2Y
Pelosi here is basically saying let the NATO leaders leave and then he’s done
Meanwhile the pressure campaign continues and by putting it like this pelosi also keeps the discussion going and pressure. then have the guts to say you want him to step aside Pelosi.
