This week, former United States Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi said that "time is running short" for Biden to decide if he is going to stay in the 2024 presidential race.
In an interview on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," Pelosi said, "It’s up to the president to decide if he is going to run. We’re all encouraging him to make that decision because time is running short," when asked if Biden had her backing.
Biden is addressing the nation in a White House press conference on Thursday night.
