Joe Biden denies rumors of tension with Nancy Pelosi on ‘The View’
ABC
Joe Biden‘s making history again during his presidency … he became the first sitting president to appear on the hit talk show ‘The View’ — and he opened up about withdrawing from the race, discussing his relationship with Nancy Pelosi.
The 46th POTUS came to the studio on Wednesday to chat with the hosts Whoopi Goudberg, Joy Behar, Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin, Anna Navarro And Alyssa Farah Griffin about both foreign and domestic politics – and the perception that it is his political exit was unceremonious.
Farah Griffin asks JB if he’s still cool with longtime ally Nancy Pelosi…who many say seemed to take the lead in encouraging Biden to step aside for Kamala Harris.
Biden says he and Nancy are still cool — though it’s a rather short answer — and adds that he’s never felt an overwhelming “reluctance” among Democrats to run him again.
He says he knows some people in his party wanted to see him step aside so they could have a chance to move on. However, he claims he doesn’t care because it’s just human nature.
As for whether he thinks he would have defeated Donald Trump in the election…Biden says he’s confident he could have done that because all the polls told him he had a chance.
Interesting Biden says he felt no resistance when he started running again… because a disastrous debate in June and eroding support among prominent members of the Democratic Party – including celebrities like George Clooney – in July marked the beginning of the end for Biden.

But Biden is quashing any rumors of beef between himself and Pelosi — which she really stoked in early August when she revealed she hadn’t spoken to Joe in weeks.
Biden and the team at ‘The View’ also spoke about many other political topics … including rising tensions in the Middle East and his feelings about Trump allegedly blaming Biden for the attempts on his life.
In the end, the interview was a big victory lap for Biden… with lots of cheers from the audience and thanks from the hosts.
So even though some of his fellow Democrats didn’t show any love in July, his fans on “The View” certainly did.
