Jill Biden says she’s ‘disappointed’ in Nancy Pelosi abandoning president as Democratic nominee Pelosi and other senior Democratic leaders abandoned Biden’s presidential campaign after the first presidential debate.
“Disappointing” is the word First Lady Dr. Jill Biden used to describe how she feels about the way her husband, President Joe Biden, was treated by Democratic Party leaders during the 2024 presidential campaign.
Pelosi and Biden rose to prominence within their party at similar times with Biden becoming a Delaware senator in 1973 and Pelosi becoming a California representative in 1987.
The pair’s relationship was put to the test last summer when Democrats were forced to go to bat for Biden after he lost public confidence in his ability to serve as the Democratic nominee, and president, due to his unimpressive debate performance.
Reports soon poured in that Pelosi was leading a private pressure campaign to get Biden to drop out so a younger Democrat with more potential of defeating Trump could replace him.
