President Joe Biden’s late-night speech at last week’s Democratic National Convention (DNC) was the last act in a play of Democratic infighting that has left Biden and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi bitter enemies. After his speech, an angry tirade against Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in which he repeated several hoaxes about the former president, Biden appeared shaken and had difficulty getting off Air Force One when the plane landed in California.
According to a report in the Daily Mail, the speech not only marked his parting words to the Democratic faithful, but the convention itself may have marked an irreparable split between himself and Pelosi, whom Biden had already said had pushed him out of the Democratic presidential race in a national interview.
The Monday night speech itself had not gone well as he was scheduled to speak at 10:30 p.m. but didn’t begin till well after 11 and when he was finished after midnight, so was much of the television audience. Much of the evening had to be abbreviated to even arrange that timing, the Daily Mail noted, adding that it had exclusively uncovered Pelosi’s backstabbing efforts to remove Biden from the presidential campaign by threatening to publicly reveal that she had lost confidence in the president’s ability to run.
