NEW: Pelosi Assures Panicking Democrats She’s Working To Dump Biden

A stunning report by Politico this week indicates that former House Speaker and California Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is fielding an avalanche of calls from colleagues in swing districts fearful that a ticket led by President Joe Biden could doom their prospects for reelection.

According to one lawmaker who remained anonymous to protect the confidentiality of ongoing conversations with fellow members, Pelosi is providing “very receptive” responses to concerns that Biden is unable to win in November. She hasn’t shied away from explaining district-level polling that shows Biden is a drag on the ticket but that many House and Senate Democrats still outpoll him, especially in swing states. The lawmaker said they left the call with a distinct felling that Pelosi is getting more aggressive about trying to push President Biden out of the race. Toward the end of the call, the former House leader encouraged her colleague to have others reach out to share their concerns though she emphasized she would not be initiating those calls.

At 84 years old, Rep. Pelosi is more than two years older than President Biden and last cycle stepped away from the chamber’s top job to make way for a new generation of Democratic leaders. Washington’s liberals often speak about her as a “last hope,” according to Politico — someone who walks the walk, stepping down in the twilight of her career and providing Biden with a personal example he may do well to follow.

“She’s the political voice of the Democratic caucus right now,” said another House Democrat who has spoken with her. “She’s been exclusively focused on winning the House for the last 20 odd years” and is “trying to be respectful” of her successor Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), noting she is no longer officially in the House Democrats’ leadership ranks. Last week Jeffries, who serves as minority leader, met privately with President Biden and later issued a statement that many interpreted as a cryptic approval for House Democrats to begin bailing on Biden if it could save their seats.

Another insider described Pelosi’s approach as akin to playing “3-D chess” and noted that Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), a top Pelosi ally and U.S. Senate candidate, is spearheading the release of a letter by dozens of lawmakers who are hoping the Democratic Party delay Biden’s nomination. “Nancy Pelosi has one of the strongest cases to make,” said one Democratic aide to a member who has voiced concerns about Biden’s electability. “She stepped down and passed the torch.”

Other leading Democratic figures who may be privately encouraging Biden to step aside include former President Barack Obama and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY). Party insiders have described a come-to-Jesus scenario that could force the 81-year-old president out of the race, saying it would take a combined effort by Pelosi, Schumer, Obama, and several others which may allow for a “blitz primary.” In such a scenario, Vice President Kamala Harris would not automatically be coronated, instead having to duke it out with out contenders as they seek to earn votes from delegates at the Democratic National Convention who would go in completely uncommitted.
