Pelosi on Democrats calling for Biden to step down: ‘I’m not doing it’
SUMMARY
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) stated she isn't calling for President Biden to step down despite criticism following his debate performance. When asked about Democrats calling for Biden to step aside, Pelosi responded, “I don’t know who’s doing that,” during an MSNBC segment aired on Ali Velshi’s show. She emphasized, “I’m not doing it.” Concerns arose after Biden's raspy voice and stumbles during the debate, prompting discussions about his candidacy.
