Biden said only the 'Lord Almighty' could get him to exit the presidential race. Then came Nancy Pelosi.

• Until Sunday, President Biden for weeks had insisted that he would remain the Democratic nominee.
• But Nancy Pelosi's influence on the race likely proved to be a force too strong to withstand.
• Pelosi reportedly told Biden that she had trouble mapping out a pathway for him to win reelection.

President Joe Biden earlier this month said that he'd step aside as the Democratic nominee only if "the Lord Almighty" came down and told him to do so.
