Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has privately told President Joe Biden in a recent conversation that polls show the president can't beat Donald Trump and that Biden could destroy Democrats' chances of winning the House in November, if he continues to seek a second term.
This was reported by CNN citing several sources.
The president responded by denying that, CNN adds, telling Pelosi that he has seen polls showing he could win, a source said. Another source described Biden as defensive about the polls.
At one point, Pelosi asked Mike Donilon, a Biden adviser, to come on the line to talk about the data.
The call would mark the second known conversation between the California lawmaker and Biden since the president's disastrous June 27 debate.
Pelosi and Biden also spoke in early July.
Neither source indicated whether Pelosi told Biden in the conversation whether she believes the president should drop out of the race in 2024.
White House spokesman Andrew Bates did not provide further details about the call.
"President Biden is the party's nominee. He intends to win and looks forward to working with congressional Democrats to pass his 100-day agenda to help working families," Bates said.
A spokesman for Pelosi told CNN that the former speaker of the House of Representatives has been in California since Friday and has not spoken to Biden since then.
