    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    WASHINGTON — Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., held back Wednesday from a full-throated endorsement of President Joe Biden staying in the 2024 race, saying that it’s up to him whether to run but warned the clock is ticking.

    We’re all encouraging him to make that decision because time is running short," Pelosi said in an interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” when asked if Biden had her support to be the head of the Democratic ticket.

    Pelosi’s remarks are highly notable as she remains a prominent member of the Democratic caucus, as speaker emerita, whose rank and file still look to her for guidance.

    The former speaker suggested that she’s told her Democratic colleagues to “hold off” on stating their opinions publicly about Biden staying in the race.

    Sen. Michael Bennet of Colorado on Tuesday became the first Senate Democrat to publicly say that he doesn’t think Biden can beat Trump.

    Biden and the White House have dismissed the idea that he has any major health conditions that affected him that night and the president has emphatically said he’s staying in the race.
