拜登回忆录新节选：佩洛西台前称尊重他的决定、幕后全力运作逼他退选，两人事后以一顿意式午餐修复关系
《大西洋》月刊11月13日刊出美国前总统拜登回忆录《Promise Me, America》的新节选。拜登在书中写道，2024年大选期间，前众议院议长佩洛西（Nancy Pelosi）公开场合一直说是否继续竞选由他本人决定，私下却在幕后全力运作，游说当选官员与拜登的党代表转而不再支持他。
据该节选，佩洛西曾到白宫与拜登面谈，直言没有任何民调显示他有胜算，继续参选就会输掉总统选举。拜登写道，两人最后一次真正的谈话就是那一次，此后两人只在活动场合远远见过面，没有再说过话，直到后来共进一顿意式午餐修复关系。午餐时两人没有谈起2024年那段往事，拜登写道，他们共同经历过太多，不能让裂痕一直不修补，他很高兴两人恢复了交谈。佩洛西方面多次婉拒评论两人关系的现状。
拜登在书中还写到，时任参议院多数党领袖舒默曾专程到他在特拉华州里霍博斯海滩的家中劝他退选。拜登对舒默说，跑到他家里来叫他退出竞选，胆子可真不小，并写道忠诚对他很重要。他记录了自己2024年7月21日决定退选当天的经过，逐项记下通话对象与时间，说党内太多有分量的人下定决心要把他逼出去；在他通知退选决定的一连串通话名单里，没有佩洛西，也没有前总统奥巴马。
拜登把2024年6月与特朗普的那场辩论称为一个糟糕的夜晚，但对党内随后的反应持辩护态度，称其他总统也有过糟糕的辩论、却都得到了第二次辩论挽回的机会，而他没有。这本480页的回忆录由 Little, Brown 公司出版，定于11月17日上市。拜登正接受侵袭性前列腺癌治疗，已减少新书的线下宣传活动。本站此前刊出的该回忆录节选见关联稿。

New Memoir Excerpt: Biden Says Pelosi Worked Furiously Behind the Scenes to Force Him Out, and That They Later Mended Their Rift Over Lunch
The Atlantic on November 13 published a new excerpt from former President Joe Biden's memoir, "Promise Me, America." Biden writes that during the 2024 campaign, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was publicly saying that whether he stayed in the race was his decision to make, while privately she was working furiously behind the scenes to get elected officials and Biden delegates to defect.
According to the excerpt, Pelosi came to the White House and told him bluntly that there were no polls showing he had any chance and that he would lose the presidency if he continued to seek re-election. Biden writes that this was their last real conversation; afterward they only saw each other from a distance at events and did not speak, until they later reconnected over lunch at an Italian restaurant to mend the friendship. They did not discuss the 2024 episode at that lunch. Biden writes that they had been through too much together to allow a rift to go un-mended, and that he is glad they are back on speaking terms. Pelosi has repeatedly declined to discuss the status of their relationship.
Biden also writes that then-Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer traveled to his home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, to urge him to leave the race. He writes that he told Schumer he had a lot of gumption coming to his home to tell him to get out, and that loyalty matters to him. He gives a minute-by-minute account of the day he decided to end his bid, July 21, 2024, listing whom he called and when, and says so many major voices in his party were determined to force him out. In the list of the allies he called that day, two names are absent: he did not call Pelosi, and he does not list former President Barack Obama.
Biden calls his June 2024 debate against Donald Trump a terrible night but is defensive about the reaction that followed, writing that other presidents had bad debates and were given a chance to redeem themselves in a second one, a chance he says was not available to him. The 480-page memoir, published by Little, Brown and Company, is scheduled for release on November 17. Biden, who is being treated for aggressive prostate cancer, has scaled back in-person promotion of the book. GSM's earlier reports on excerpts from the memoir are linked below.
