Golden Finance reported that according to the Washington Post, three Democratic officials familiar with former House Speaker Pelosi's private conversations said that she told some House Democrats that she believed President Biden would soon be persuaded to withdraw from the presidential race because there were serious doubts about his ability to win the November election. Biden's intermittent performance in the debate had caused panic among Democrats inside and outside Washington. Pelosi played a strong role behind the scenes, trying to resolve this political crisis, acting as a middleman for emotionally disturbed ordinary Democrats and conveying this information to the White House.
