Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has revealed that she does not believe President Joe Biden wrote his defiant letter demanding that Democrats rally behind him after his disastrous debate performance.
Pelosi said that the letter “didn’t sound like Joe.”
In that letter, Biden said he was “firmly committed” to running for re-election.
It came as panic spread through his party following Biden’s disastrous June debate with President Donald Trump.
Biden sent the letter to his Democrat colleagues on July 8 in an attempt to quell growing dissent within the party.
That same day, Biden called in to his favorite show “Morning Joe” and declared, “I’m not going anywhere.”
He also took a swipe at Democrat “elites” whom he accused of disenfranchising primary voters.
Biden’s argument has since been adopted by Republicans who say the president was overthrown in a “coup.”
Many see Pelosi and Barack Obama as the key players in the pressure campaign to get Biden to drop out.
Two days after Biden sent his letter, Pelosi went on “Morning Joe” and urged Biden to make a decision about his re-election.
The comment appeared odd at the time as Biden had made it clear he intended to keep running.
