Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has ignited controversy within the Democratic Party by criticizing President Biden’s late exit from the presidential race, which she claims contributed to Vice President Kamala Harris’s loss to Donald Trump in the recent election.
She realizes there’s more to this than Biden being terrible, right?

Trump’s Victory and Democratic Party Fallout
In a stunning turn of events, President-elect Donald Trump secured a clear victory over Vice President Kamala Harris, capturing key battleground states and winning both the electoral and popular votes – and Nancy Pelosi thinks Biden is to blame.
In the wake of this defeat, the Democratic Party has descended into a blame game, with various factions pointing fingers at one another. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has emerged as a vocal critic, particularly targeting President Biden’s role in the election process.
In a recent interview, Pelosi didn’t mince words when discussing the factors that led to Harris’s loss. She suggested that Biden’s late exit from the presidential race significantly impacted the primary process and, ultimately, the general election outcome.
“Had the president [Biden] gotten out sooner, there may have been other candidates in the race,” Nancy Pelosi said.
Pelosi’s comments highlight a growing rift within the Democratic Party, as she appears to be distancing herself from the Biden administration. Reports indicate that Pelosi has not spoken to President Biden since urging him to drop out of the race in July, following a poor debate performance.
Internal Party Divisions
The aftermath of the election has exposed deep-seated divisions within the Democratic Party. Senator Bernie Sanders criticized the party for abandoning the working class, a claim that Pelosi vehemently disputed.
“It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them. While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change, And they’re right.” Bernie Sanders said.
Pelosi, however, defended the party’s stance on working-class issues, stating, “With all due respect, and I have a great deal of respect for him [Sanders], for what he stands for, but I don’t respect him saying that the Democratic Party has abandoned the working class families. That’s where we are.”
She doesn’t get it.
The Harris campaign faced its share of criticism in the post-election analysis, too. Many critics pointed out that the campaign failed to differentiate itself sufficiently from the Biden administration, which may have contributed to voter fatigue and a desire for change.
It’s not just Biden’s fault. It’s not just Kamala’s fault. If anything, it’s more Pelosi’s fault. Why? Because she was the architect of the insane Democratic Party agenda that left so many millions of people behind.
