Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told President Biden in a private conversation that polling indicates he can’t beat Donald Trump in the 2024 election, according to a report.
Pelosi also conveyed to Biden that his continued presidential re-election campaign could destroy Democrats’ chances of winning the House in November, four sources told CNN.
The California congresswoman referred to several polls showing that Trump would beat the incumbent during their private conversation, the report said.
Biden reportedly pushed back — telling Pelosi that all polling he’s seen has pointed to a successful re-election bid.
One of the sources on the call described Biden as “defensive,” CNN reported.
