During a recent appearance on Bill Maher's show, Nancy Pelosi laughed off suggestions that she pressured President Joe Biden to withdraw from the 2024 election, despite widespread accusations of her involvement in persuading him to step aside following poor polling and a disastrous debate against Donald Trump. Maher jokingly referenced her supposed role in discouraging Biden while promoting her book and encouraging more women to run for office. Pelosi maintained that 'people make their own decisions' when asked about the transition to Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee, emphasizing that the process was open for others to enter. Maher, however, expressed gratitude for what Pelosi 'didn't do' in terms of Biden's candidacy. The conversation highlighted the internal dynamics within the Democratic Party as they prepare for the upcoming election, where Harris is now competitive against Trump in several swing states. Recent polling shows Democrats gaining traction as Harris's lead grows in key areas, shifting the electoral landscape significantly.
