Pelosi says those who knew of Biden's decline 'should have acted'

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said people who were aware of former President Joe Biden's decline should have taken action. The remarks came Tuesday at a POLITICO summit in Sacramento.

Former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat, publicly addressed former President Joe Biden's decline on Tuesday, stating that those who knew about it should have acted.

The comments were made at POLITICO's "The California Agenda: Sacramento Summit," held in Sacramento, California.

Context

Pelosi's remarks add to an ongoing debate within U.S. political circles over how much Biden's closest aides and fellow party members knew about his physical and mental state during his presidency, and whether that information was properly disclosed to the public.

The available reporting does not include further details of Pelosi's remarks or the context in which they were made. It also remains unclear whether the former speaker specified which individuals or officials she believes were responsible for failing to act.

Pelosi, who served as House Speaker for several years and remains one of the most influential figures in the Democratic Party, continues to serve as a member of Congress.
