Speaking for the first time since he was apparently forced to step aside, Joe Biden confirmed that high ranking Democrats pushed him out of the race, essentially corroborating the accusations of a ‘coup’.
In an interview with CBS’ Robert Costa, Biden stated “The polls we had showed that it was a neck-and-neck race that would have gone down to the wire. But what happened was a number of my Democratic colleagues in the House and Senate thought that I was going to hurt them in the races.”
He continued, “And I was concerned if I stayed in the race, that would be the topic — you’d be interviewing me about why did Nancy Pelosi say (unintelligible). And I thought it’d be a real distraction.”
