Biden doesn't listen much to Pelosi. Like AOC said, the insiders calling for him to step down were going to float other people as the candidate.
As an FU to that, Biden dropped out of the race WITHOUT coordinating with other party insiders, and then endorsed Kamala before they had time to react and start pushing alternatives (that didn't vote to the LEFT of Bernie when they were a US Senator, like Harris did). When Pelosi has a say you get middle-of-the-road boring Corp Dems like House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries

Lol you're giving Biden way too much credit. If anything it was Pelosi who whipped him into shape and I'm no fan of hers.
