It’s just being reported by the New York Times that Nancy Pelosi is suggesting that Biden drop out of the presidential race.

Last night I reported that she was being cagey about it after the big Democrat meeting yesterday. But this morning, she’s now suggesting Biden reconsider his decision to stay in the race:

Representative Nancy Pelosi of California, the former House speaker and a longtime Biden ally, made the strongest public push yet for the president to reconsider his re-election bid, suggesting on Wednesday that “time is running short” for him to make a decision.

Speaking on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Ms. Pelosi said that she would back Mr. Biden “whatever he decides.” But she said she wanted to restart conversations about Mr. Biden’s political future after the NATO summit he is hosting this week in Washington, which on Thursday will include the president’s first news conference since his disastrous debate performance against former President Donald J. Trump.

Mr. Biden has been unequivocal about his intention to seek a second term, but Democrats on Capitol Hill have agonized over his candidacy.

Ms. Pelosi’s comments appeared designed to give alarmed Democrats, who so far are mostly falling in line behind Mr. Biden, space to pivot in the coming days. It was the first glimmer of pushback against the defiant president from a top congressional leader that gave a sense of the deep divisions within the party on how to move forward.

We’ll see if this leads to an avalanche of calls for Biden to drop out among Democrats.

UPDATE: And just like that, the New York Times has already deleted its tweet.

Here’s the original tweet:

And the new one…I guess they just wanted to change the photo or something:
