Obama, Pelosi and other Democrats make a fresh push for Biden
to reconsider 2024 race

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats at
the highest levels are making a criti-
cal push for President Joe Biden to
reevaluate his election bid, with former
President Barack Obama expressing
private concerns to allies and Speaker
Emerita Nancy Pelosi privately telling
Biden the party could lose the ability to
seize control of the House if he doesn't
step away from the 2024 race.
Pelosi also presented polling to Biden
that she argued shows he likely can't
defeat Republican Donald Trump —
though the former speaker countered
Thursday in a sharp statement that
the "feeding frenzy" from anonymous
sources "misrepresents any conversa-
tions" she may have had with the presi-
dent.
With time racing toward the party con-
vention next month, Democratic un-
ease is growing at the White House and
within the campaign at a fraught mo-
ment for the president and his party.
