In his first extended comments since stepping away from seeking re-nomination and re-election, Joe Biden has officially blamed Nancy Pelosi for pushing him out.
True indeed.
But, whether it's Dementia Joe, Irish Alzheimer's or some mix of that and other things? The rest is not so true.
The TL/DR is that Biden apparently still doesn't think his campaign was in trouble to the point it was taking on almost as much water as the Titanic. Rather, Biden claims it was the impression Pelosi and other national Democratic elected officials and thought leaders had that they thought his campaign was in trouble, and that this would be a growing issue going forward, that caused him to step aside.
The Post links to an old Politico story from late July in which five Anony Mice rather claim that Biden indeed accepted there was a good probability he couldn't win. That said, that piece doesn't have the Mice or Biden claiming that the chatterings of Democratic leaders were part of that problem.
In addition, neither piece cites the donor class, who are the ones who were really making the push behind the scenes.
