Biden on Dropping Out: Many House, Senate Democrats ‘Thought I was Gonna Hurt Them in Their Races’

Welp. President Joe Biden admitted Democrats pushed him out of the race…but says his concern made him drop out:

BIDEN: “Look, the polls we had showed that it was a neck-and-neck race, we would have been down to the wire. But what happened was, a number of my Democratic colleagues in the House and Senate thought that I was gonna hurt them in their races. And I was concerned, if I stayed in the race, that would be the topic. You’d be interviewing about why did Nancy Pelosi say, why did so and — and I thought it would be a real distraction.”

Over on MSNBC, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) admitted she has not spoken to Biden since he dropped out:

PSAKI: Given your long friendship with President Biden and how much you have long loved each other, worked together so many times, I know you haven’t talked, unless you tell me you have talked –PELOSI: No.PSAKI: Since he dropped, since he decided not to run. Is there a way back with your friendship?PELOSI: Let me just say in our family, we have three generations of love for Joe Biden.
