In terms of the Pelosi call, President Biden responded by pushing back, telling Pelosi he has seen polls that indicate he can win, one source told the outlet.
Another one of the sources described Biden as getting defensive about the polls and that at one point, Pelosi asked Mike Donilon, Biden’s longtime adviser, to get on the line to talk over the data.
It is unclear when exactly the call took place, but one CNN source says it was held within the last week. Pelosi and Biden also spoke in early July.
A spokesperson for Pelosi tells Fox News Digital that the congresswoman would not comment on private conversations with the president.
"Speaker Pelosi respects the confidentiality of her meetings and conversations with the President of the United States. Sadly, the feeding frenzy from the press based on anonymous sources misrepresents any conversations the Speaker may have had with the President," the spokesperson said in a statement.
Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for comment but did not immediately receive a response.
Pelosi is a longtime Biden ally. She led House Democrats for the entirety of Biden's two terms as vice president and served as House speaker for the first two years of his presidency, ushering major pieces of Biden's agenda through Congress, including the American Rescue Plan and bipartisan infrastructure law.
In the wake of the debate, Pelosi said she would support whatever the president decided to do, although several reports indicate that she was encouraging lawmakers to continue to put pressure on Biden to reconsider his decision to run for re-election.

"Nancy is all over this. She doesn't miss. Schiff wouldn't move without her approval," the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told Reuters.
Last week, a number of House Democrats told The Hill that Pelosi was advising members in their conference against rallying to Biden before there is a broader discussion over whether he is the best candidate to defeat Trump.
"I did have a conversation with her, she is very concerned," one House Democratic lawmaker told The Hill. "It’s not like she’s like, ‘We’re sticking with this guy.'"
