Pelosi Formally Endorses Joe Biden for President VOA News House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has formally endorsed former U.S. vice president Joe Biden for the Democratic party's presidential nomination. In a pre-recorded video statement released early Monday, she described Biden as "the personification of hope and courage. She cited his experience helping to pass the Affordable Care Act and implementing the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to argue that he is well positioned to lead the country amid a global pandemic. While her endorsement is not a surprise, Pelosi chose to stay neutral during the Democratic primary process, repeatedly cautioning the party to keep its eye on the ultimate prize of defeating President Donald Trump in November. .
