Pelosi and Schiff's Bold Move: Pressuring Biden to Step Down

Top White House sources reveal that Nancy Pelosi supported Adam Schiff's call for President Joe Biden to withdraw from the upcoming U.S. presidential race. Pelosi allegedly believes Biden cannot win the upcoming election and that public sentiment is against him. Schiff's concerns and Pelosi's influence signal a significant internal Democratic party struggle over Biden's re-election viability.

According to top White House sources, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has backed Representative Adam Schiff's call for President Joe Biden to step down in the U.S. presidential race. Pelosi reportedly informed Biden that he cannot win the upcoming Nov. 5 election.

Schiff expressed his concerns about Biden's ability to defeat Republican contender Donald Trump, following an assassination attempt on Trump. Schiff's statement disrupted Biden's campaign's belief that the attempt had quelled calls for Biden to withdraw from the 2024 race. A source close to the situation claims that Schiff acted with Pelosi's approval, emphasizing her significant influence.

Pelosi's office and the White House have not commented on the matter. Family Democrats reflect Pelosi's sentiment stating the challenge of a potential Biden replacement with Vice President Kamala Harris at the helm. Discussions continue within the party on how to navigate this internal divide amid external electoral pressures.
