Joe Biden News: Biden ‘most angry’ with Nancy Pelosi, hasn’t spoken yet; ‘frustrated’ with Obama

Weeks after exiting the race that he was adamant to keep on fighting, US president Joe Biden is still coming to terms with what happened behind his back — ‘engineered’ mainly by Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer. But his feelings for the three of them are different, Politico reported citing Biden’s close aides. Biden is angry with Nancy Pelosi, frustrated with Barack Obama and miffed at Schumer.
The tension is again at the forefront as the party is preparing for the national convention. Biden told his close aides that he respects Pelosi for she did what she had to do and that Pelosi cares for the party and not feelings but she was ruthless to set aside their long-term relationships. Pelosi and Biden have not spoken after Biden’s exit and Pelosi also acknowledged in a recent interview that she loses sleep thinking about her friendship with Biden.
Pelosi has repeatedly denied any role in Biden’s exit and said she didn’t call anyone but the president in the three weeks prior to Biden’s departure from the race. But Pelosi took calls from rank-and-file Democrats who sought her advice in the days following Biden’s debate performance and before he dropped out of the race, Politico reported.
Pelosi said she, her husband and children have only love for the Bidens. “In our family, we have three generations of love for Joe Biden. My husband and I — of course, we’ve known him for a very long time — respect him, love him and Jill. He and Jill are so remarkable, and their family. Our kids have always loved them. I had pictures with him from our children growing up and now our grandchildren growing up,” she said.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Monday said that Biden “respects” Pelosi and insisted that he has “no hard feelings.”
Biden’s resentment for Obama stemmed from the fact that Obama tweeted in support of Biden after the debate and then went quiet. Obama did not ask him to his face to leave the race and that made Biden sad.
