Relevant portion of interview here.

“I think it’s a legitimate question to say, is this an episode or is this a condition? When people ask that question, it’s completely legitimate — of both candidates.”

Of course she's quick to "both-sides" the night, but that's politics for you. If she's saying this during an interview, I can only speculate on what's going on behind closed doors. The wagons are not closing around the Biden campaign.

I've seen it said a lot that most Dems can't say that they want Biden to drop out, even if they really do, because they don't want to hurt their own political careers by being seen as "out of step" with the party. I appreciate that Pelosi, as someone who doesn't have to worry about her career so much, is coming out and saying this.
