A new book has uncovered Nancy Pelosi‘s significant role in convincing Joe Biden to exit the presidential race. Biden’s departure in July, following a tough debate against Donald Trump, shocked many. Despite his attempts to stay in the race, mounting pressure from Democratic leadership ultimately led to his decision to step down.
According to Jonathan Alter’s upcoming book, “American Retribution: Inside Trump’s Trial — and My Own,” Pelosi was the “key figure” urging Biden to withdraw. An excerpt published by Vanity Fair reveals how Pelosi “ripped off the bandage for Democrats,” pushing Biden toward this critical decision. However, insiders say Pelosi remains upset over certain aspects of this high-stakes choice.

From Fox News:
“The key figure in getting Biden to change his mind was Pelosi, who drew on their forty-year friendship. At first, she thought Biden could survive what he described as his ‘bad night.’ But Pelosi is an institutionalist; she loves the House, and her nightmare of not regaining control of that chamber (when Democrats were so close to winning it back) seemed to be coming true,” Alter wrote.He continued, “With Republican control of the presidency, both houses of Congress and the Supreme Court, who would check Trump’s authoritarian impulses? After Biden under-performed with Stephanopoulos, Pelosi expected that Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and the Democratic leadership on Capitol Hill would stage an intervention.”
“But the men were MIA,” an insider reportedly told Alter. “She wasn’t happy that the only bloody fingerprints on the knife were hers.”
