Former Speaker of US House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi has joined the push for President Joe Biden to bow out of the presidential race.
The former speaker has reportedly told her Democratic
colleagues that the President could be convinced to leave the race soon.
According to the Washington Post, the former speaker has
assumed a prominent role in passing messages from House Democrats to the White
House.
She is relaying concerns the incumbent President is
incapable of beating his opponent from the Republican Party, Donald Trump in
November.
The lawmaker thinks Biden is close to making a decision to
end his campaign.
Pelosi, who was one of the key figures that ensured Trump
did not return elected in 2016, helping Biden to the White House, is now widely
reported as orchestrating the renewed pressure on the President to bow out of
his re-election bid.
Biden has insisted he will bear the Democratic Party’s flag
in November, but he is said to be asking questions about negative polling data
and whether the vice-president, Kamala Harris, considered the favourite to
replace him if were to withdraw, would fare better.
The indications of a possible rethink come after the
President tested positive for Covid-19 during the week, forcing him to be
isolated for several days.
His isolation has curtailed a campaign visit to Nevada that
had been part of a drive to show his candidacy was very much alive.
This coincides with fresh polling data showing that Trump
now leads by two points in Virginia, a state Biden won by 10 points in 2020.
It shows that President Biden’s support has fallen in swing
states since his disastrous showing at last month’s debate in Atlanta.
