As far as Joe Biden is concerned, he’s staying in the competition. He’s made that glass evident several days in his interview with George Stephanopoulos, his letter to congressional Democrats, and plenty of occasions during plan activities. If we take Biden at his word, which admittedly does n’t mean much, he’s in it to win it.

Does past House Speaker Nancy Pelosi have any knowledge that we lack? Nancy Pelosi’s appearance on MSNBC on Wednesday raises questions and suspenses speculation that she is aware of something that the general public is n’t aware of despite Biden’s public assurances that he’s staying in the race.
Pelosi appeared to reflect inside knowledge of events that were occurring during her MSNBC look, which contradicted Biden’s stated intentions to stay in the competition.
” So Madam Speaker, you just went through the government’s history, but let me ask you about the present moment. Does he have your aid as the party’s leader? asked MSNBC’s Jonathan Lemire.
She said,” The chairman can determine whether he is going to run as long as the leader has,” she continued. Because of limited day, we’re all enabling him to make that choice. The, I think, overwhelming support of the conference, it’s not for me to claim. I’m not the mind of the conference again, but he’s dearest, he is respected, and citizens want him to make that decision, no me”.
The main issue with this comment is that Biden has stated his intention to stay in the contest numerous times. It’s hard to believe that Pelosi did n’t know that, Lemire even pointed it out.

” He has said — he has made the decision”, he told Pelosi. He has made a strong prediction this week that he will work. Do you want him to work”?
” I want him to do whatever he decides to perform, and that’s the way it is”, she said.  ,
Then she suggested that a decision still has n’t been made yet:” Whatever he decides, we go with. I think it’s actually important, and I do hope everyone would visit on, to let him cope with this NATO meeting. This is a really great package. 30 eyes, over 30, heads of state are around. He is the number of it, and that means not only opening, but that means orchestrating the conversation and setting the plan, and he’s doing but beautifully”.
She added,” And I’ve said to everyone, let’s just hold off. Whatever you’re thinking, either tell someone privately, but you do n’t have to put that out on the table until we see how we go this week”.

Hold the phone around. Is there anything scheduled to occur this year? Lemire specifically told her that Biden had previously stated that he was staying, which Pelosi cannot refute. She appears to be thinking that something is about to occur this month.

On social media, speculating is rightly common. That said, while her remarks do n’t mean that Biden is going to drop out, it does suggest she might know that he has n’t made a true decision. The actual discussion might be about how Biden may leave the race while maintaining some respect in the process, if I’m allowed to assume.
