'One and done’: Pelosi urges Biden to skip last two presidential debates after Trump-fueled debacle

The Boss says she’s seen enough of President Trump on the debate stage.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi urged Joe Biden on Thursday to skip the last two scheduled presidential debates after Trump wreaked havoc on the first one with dozens of interruptions and outlandish behavior.

“I think it’s one and done,” Pelosi told Bloomberg News.

The suggestion from the top congressional Democrat came as Biden’s campaign insisted the Democratic nominee absolutely will participate in the two upcoming debates with Trump.

Pelosi noted that she never thought Biden should appear together with the mercurial Trump, whom she branded “authentically, a bully.”

“I myself did not think that Biden should dignify a debate,” Pelosi said.

The speaker has not spoken to Trump since he infamously walked out of a White House negotiating session for an infrastructure bill last year. She called Tuesday’s debate a new low for Trump, who refused to condemn his racist supporters and stubbornly insisted he might not accept the results of the Nov. 3 election.

“It was a sad occasion for our country,” she said. “It broke my heart.”
