Pelosi (D-Calif.) admitted that she hasn’t talked to Biden, 81, since he abandoned his reelection campaign more than two weeks ago during an appearance on CNN Monday.

The last time the two Democrats conversed would then be when Pelosi spoke with Biden before he announced on July 21 that he was ending his bid for a second term.

“I was asking for a campaign that would win,” Pelosi recounted of their conversation on CBS News Sunday. “And I wasn’t seeing that on the horizon.”

She has denied rumors that she led the charge of Democrats pushing Biden to take his name out of the running.

But when asked if everything was “OK” with their relationship on CNN Monday, Pelosi didn’t give a direct answer.

“You’d have to ask him, but I hope so,” Pelosi said. “Look, I love Joe Biden, respected him for over 40 years.”

The ex-House speaker reportedly warned Biden that his polling against Donald Trump made it clear to her that he couldn’t win in November, sources previously told CNN and Politico.

Biden reportedly pushed back at — and was “seething” at Pelosi — during the tough love conversation, sources told CNN.

Pelosi has attempted to distance herself from the narrative that she led the movement to push Biden out of the race — instead laying on the compliments to his legacy as president as of late.

She also commended Vice President Kamala Harris, who took over for Biden atop the Democratic ticket.

Pelosi called the former prosecutor “very politically astute” as demonstrated by her win in a competitive primary for California’s attorney general.
