The former president of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, criticized a report by Bombshell Wall Street Journal about the cognitive decline of former Joe Biden a month after the California Democrat confided in friends who was alarmed by how much he had aged, according to a new book.
“Joe Biden was not the same,” according to the reports, Pelosi told a friend of the condition of the then president after receiving the door of the Prize of the Presidential Freedom Medal A Ceremony of the White House of May, 2024.
The claim is from the new book by the author Chris Whipple, “Uncharted: how Trump beat Biden, Harris and the probabilities in the Wildst campaign in history.”
Whipple wrote that Pelosi was “surprised by how much the president had aged” at the ceremony, according to Fox News.
The place of the White House event, Biden’s dramatic place, was detailed in a Wall Street Journal report, where more than 45 republican and Democratic legislators and employees described a president who spoke so gently Himmis the meetings that this did not seem to know what policies were in force; And was based on staff to answer direct questions.
Despite expressing his concerns in private with Biden’s elderly, he was 81 years old at that time, Pelosi publicly criticized the report as a “successful piece.”
“Many of us spend time with [the WSJ] To share in the registry our first -hand experiences with [Biden]Where we see his wisdom, experience, strength and strategic thinking, “Pelosi wrote in a publication on June 5, 2024, X”. Instead, the magazine ignored the testimony of the Democrats, focused on the attacks of the Republicans and printed a success piece. ”
Week later, the decrease in Biden’s mental action was in full exhibition. Duration his disastrous on June 27, 2024 debate against Trump’s result in a wave of Democrats who ask him not to seek re -election.
At that time, the post reported that Pelosi had played the “bad police” to the “good police” of Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer to convince Biden to retire.
Other media reported that Pelosi threatened to release internal surveys that showed that Biden had no chance against Trump if the president insisted on continuing.
“Pelosi believed that Biden’s advisors were deceiving him, showing him numbers of pink surveys. He had never been impressed by them; in his mind, they were an old club who spoke only for themselves,” Whipple wrote.
The author states that Biden felt “aggravated” by Pelosi after she helped in the efforts to get him out of the race.
Pelosi’s office did not respond to the request for comments from the post.
The former camera speaker blamed the overwhelming defeat of former vice president Kamala Harris against Trump in the 2024 elections for not getting out of the fastest race.
“The president goes out before, he can have other candidates in the race,” Times told New York in an interview published last November.
