当天早些时候，这位前众议院议长不想详述她与拜登的决定性谈话，她在谈话中表达了对民主党在今年11月失去白宫的担忧。
在教堂般的芝加哥大学俱乐部发表讲话时，当被问及她在拜登退出2024年竞选前对他说了什么时，她先是进行了拖延。佩洛西坚称拜登的选择是他自己的。但当被追问时，这位加州议员表示，她需要采取必要措施阻止特朗普重返白宫。
“我非常想保护他的遗产，”佩洛西谈到总统时说。“所以我的观点只是:我们需要一个更好的竞选活动。”

Speaking in the cathedral-like University Club of Chicago, she initially filibustered when asked about what she told Biden before he exited the 2024 race. Pelosi insisted Biden’s choice was his own. But when pressed, the California lawmaker said she needed to do what was necessary to stop Trump from returning to the White House.
