Pelosi frustrated ‘the men were MIA’ when it came time to force Biden out: Book

Published October 15, 2024 11:47am ET



Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was frustrated with many of her fellow top Democrats for failing to push President Joe Biden harder to exit the 2024 race and leaving her as the main catalyst to do so, according to a new book being released later this month. 

Pelosi was the key figure in getting Biden to drop his presidential bid earlier this year amid fears that his candidacy would cost Democrats the White House and possibly both chambers of Congress. However, the former speaker was reportedly annoyed that other party leaders were slow to join the chorus calling on Biden to step down.
