Pelosi urges Biden to make decision on race, despite his insistence he will stay

“It’s up to the president to decide if he is going to run. We’re all encouraging him to make that decision, because time is running short,” Pelosi said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “ … He is beloved, he is respected, and people want him to make that decision.”

Perhaps Pelosi knew that Joe had not made a final decision. Certainly those strong statements that he was not going to withdraw his nomination wrong footed the Republicans at the convention. Their whole stick was Trump was Strong and Biden Weak: Weak on the border, weak on crime and weak on the economy.

Now it's the prosecutor vs the felon. They have wasted a whole lot of money and time smearing Joe Biden for nothing.
