Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi reportedly told President Joe Biden in a private call last week that she and other lawmakers are concerned that he could ruin Democrats' chances of taking control of the House this fall if he stays in the presidential race, as polling shows he can't beat former President Donald Trump.

NEWSMAX said that the exact date of the call wasn't made clear, but one source said it happened within the last week, marking the second conversation Pelosi and Biden have had since his debate performance against Trump on June 27, reports CNN, quoting four sources briefed on the call.

One of the sources said that Biden pushed back and told Pelosi he's seen polls indicating he can defeat Trump. At one point, the source said, Pelosi asked longtime Biden adviser Mike Donilon to come onto the line and talk about the data.
