Despite her public support for President Biden, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is reportedly working behind the scenes to influence the decision on his candidacy for the 2024 presidential election.
According to reports, Pelosi is urging lawmakers to keep the pressure on Biden to reconsider his decision to run for re-election.
Numerous House Democrats have revealed that Pelosi advises her colleagues not to rally around Biden too quickly. She suggests a broader discussion is necessary to determine whether Biden is the most suitable candidate to defeat former President Trump.

This cautious approach is particularly aimed at vulnerable lawmakers in swing districts, who Pelosi believes should prioritize their re-election chances over early endorsements.
One House Democratic lawmaker shared with The Hill that Pelosi expressed significant concern about the current situation. “I did have a conversation with her, she is very concerned,” the lawmaker said.
“It’s not like she’s like, ‘we’re sticking with this guy.'” This sentiment indicates that while Pelosi publicly supports Biden, she is not entirely convinced that he is the best candidate for the 2024 election.
The reports of Pelosi’s behind-the-scenes maneuvering come at a critical time for the Democratic Party.
As the 2024 election approaches, the party must decide whether to back Biden or consider alternative candidates who may have a better chance of securing a victory against Trump.
Pelosi’s strategy reflects her pragmatic approach to politics, aiming to ensure that the Democratic Party remains competitive in the upcoming election.
