Wasn't any point in her talking to anyone lower on the totem pole.
“You make a decision to win, and you make every decision in favor of winning,” Pelosi said Monday, adding that “the most important decision” in that electoral calculus “is the candidate.”

Pelosi said her own decision to leave party leadership had made it “easier” to broach the topic with Biden. Now on a press tour to market her new book, Pelosi has praised the president repeatedly.

“We just wanted him to make the decision in how he best preserves that legacy,” Pelosi said Monday. “And also — win.”
And, really pretty much only, win.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
