Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has privately informed President Joe Biden in a recent conversation that recent polling indicates he cannot defeat Donald Trump in the upcoming 2024 presidential election. Pelosi warned that Biden's continued candidacy could jeopardize the Democratic Party's chances of winning the House of Representatives in November. Despite Pelosi's concerns, Biden pushed back, citing other polls that suggest he can win. Pelosi even asked Biden's longtime adviser, Mike Donilon, to discuss the data further. The conversation, which has reverberated throughout Biden's campaign and the higher echelons of the Democratic Party, underscores the significant internal debate about Biden's viability as a candidate.
