Ever since losing the House, Nancy Pelosi has stayed mostly out of the limelight. But now that we are nearing a major election, it seems the former House Speaker is eager to be seen. Perhaps she thinks she can help Democrats win big in November—despite her own failed track record.
She has spoken out against Israel—joining Chuck Schumer in condemning America’s longstanding ally.
Now, she is speaking out about President Joe Biden. He recently challenged Donald Trump to two debates, one in June and the other in September. Biden wants the debates to be held on CNN and ABC—with no live audience. Trump accepted the conditions. But Pelosi had some hard words for old Joe.
From Fox News:
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday revealed her personal views on a debate between President Biden and former President Donald Trump.“I myself would never recommend going on stage with Donald Trump, but the president has decided that’s what he wants to do,” Pelosi said…
The final debate between Trump and Biden in 2020 was particularly heated, involving clashes between the candidates over COVID-19 and the economy. Pelosi detailed her concerns about Trump’s demeanor on the debate stage and referenced one of the most famous debates between Trump and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential race.
Pelosi said she didn’t “recommend” Biden taking the stage with Donald Trump. It seems the Democrat, who has a long history of hatred for Trump, was contradicting Biden’s decision to debate Trump.
This shouldn’t surprise anyone. Democrats are probably scared of Biden trying to go toe-to-toe with Trump. It is likely Biden will struggle to speak or answer questions without prepared remarks. Even with no live audience, Biden might appear weak, confused, and ill-equipped in a debate with the Republican.
Pelosi might fear Biden faltering, to the point that he can’t recover. Biden is suffering years of terrible approval numbers and bad election polls. Americans are angry over the border and the flagging economy. Any further missteps by this president and his fate might be sealed.
Pelosi seems to fear how Trump might intimidate or belittle Biden, as Democrats claimed he did to Hillary Clinton in 2016. But if Joe Biden can’t stand down his biggest political rival—is he really up to the challenge of leading a second term?
Key Takeaways:
- Nancy Pelosi said she would “never” want Biden debating Donald Trump.
- Biden had just challenged Trump to two debates before the election.
- Pelosi seems to fear Biden looking bad during a live event.
