WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former House Speaker Pelosi, a leading figure in the U.S. Democratic Party, said she believed President Biden would not be able to win the November presidential election and refused to fully engage with Representative Schiff's call for him to withdraw from the presidential race. "It's happening" too. This was revealed by White House sources.
Congressman Schiff of California said on the 17th, ``Trump's re-election would shake the very foundations of American democracy.I have serious questions about whether President Biden can defeat Trump in November.'' "I have concerns," he said, urging President Biden to withdraw.
"Senator Schiff will not move without Pelosi's approval," a White House source said.
The source said Pelosi was "convinced that the public's sentiments were turning away from President Biden and that nothing could change that," and told Biden she believed he had no chance of winning the race.

Since the televised debate in June, in which he himself said, ``It was a bad night, and I made a mistake,'' he says that the pressure on Biden to withdraw has ``reached an intolerable level.''
On the 18th, ``Axios'' reported, citing multiple party officials, that Mr. Biden was of the view that ``in response to growing pressure to withdraw, he would make a decision as early as the weekend,'' and a close aide to Mr. Biden also said, ``It's only a matter of time.'' "It's true," he said. Furthermore, several local media reported that Mr. Biden, who had denied withdrawing, has changed his mind, saying, ``I have started to listen to what those around me are saying'' and ``Vice President Harris has asked me about the possibility of defeating Mr. Trump.''
A glimpse of that change of heart appeared in Biden's speech after Trump's shooting. On the 16th, Mr. Biden gave his first campaign speech in Nevada, one of the battleground states since Mr. Trump's assassination attempt, and said that he would not just suppress his traditional criticism of Trump, who has harshly criticized him as a ``threat to democracy.'' However, he did not mention his intention to ``continue the election campaign,'' which he has repeatedly and forcefully advocated.
