Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has urged President Joe Biden to make a decision about his participation in the 2024 presidential race, expressing concern about the impact of his candidacy on the Democratic party and the election outcome. In interviews on MSNBC's Morning Joe, Pelosi implied that she had advised Democratic lawmakers to keep quiet about their opinions on Biden's candidacy until after the NATO conference. Sen. Michael Bennet publicly expressed concern about Biden's fitness for office and potential impact on the election.
Biden has repeatedly insisted that he will remain in the race, despite concerns from within his own party regarding his performance in debates and overall health. Pelosi's remarks suggest that she believes Biden is still deciding whether or not to continue running for reelection. The pressure on Biden to deliver strong public performances comes as voices calling for him to drop out grow louder.
Pelosi's comments come amid growing concerns about Biden's ability to mount a successful campaign and serve another term in office, following his halting performance in the first debate against Donald Trump. Seven Democrats have publicly called for Biden to step aside, including Rep. Mikie Sherrill of New Jersey and Sen. Michael Bennet of Colorado.
Despite these concerns, Pelosi has long been a close ally of Biden and has encouraged her colleagues in Congress to refrain from making public statements either for or against him until after the NATO summit.
Biden's NATO Summit events this week come with added pressure to prove his fitness for office and ability to beat Trump in November. The president has sent a letter to congressional Democrats reiterating his dedication to staying in the race and calling on them to rally behind him.
It is unclear if Pelosi's remarks indicate that she believes Biden is undecided about running for reelection or if she is expressing concern about his ability to win the election

This is not a reasoning or evidence provided by the author, but rather a statement made by Biden himself.
