Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi declined to comment on how former President Donald Trump's long-awaited decision about a 2024 presidential run might affect November's midterm elections.
“Do I ever even mention his name? Would I even waste my time talking about him?” she said at her weekly press conference at the U.S. Capital on Thursday, referring to the 45th president as “the former occasional occupant of the White House.”
“I don’t speculate on who’s running in 2024,” said Pelosi, before ultimately noting that a potential second Trump presidential run, which appeared to cause the House speaker some disquiet, was “up to the Republicans to figure out what impact it may have on them.”
In a New York Times poll, young Democrat voters say they do not want president Joe Biden to be the Democratic nominee in 2024, as the prospects of Trump running in 2024 continue to rise.
