Democrats request to replace Joe Biden: the Party navigates between elite ambitions and the risk of factional split

On July 10, House of Representatives Congresswoman and former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said that Joe Biden should make a clear decision about his political future.

Pelosi emphasized that the Democratic leader should decide as soon as possible whether he will run for president for the second time, as Biden has less and less time to make such a decision.

As the incumbent president regularly and unequivocally confirms his participation in the November elections, the former speaker’s statement is a political technique to encourage Biden to reconsider his decision to run for the Democratic presidential nomination.
