Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi recently addressed the fallout from President Joe Biden’s decision to drop out of the 2024 race, a move that was reportedly influenced by her pressure campaign. Despite her significant role in urging Biden to withdraw, Pelosi conceded she had not spoken to either President Biden or First Lady Jill Biden since the decision.

When MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell asked Pelosi about Jill Biden’s disappointment over her actions, Pelosi expressed hope for reconciliation, though she admitted they had not spoken.Pelosi also defended her stance, arguing that the Democratic Party had actually gained a seat in the House, and she suggested that the situation would have played out differently had Biden remained at the top of the ticket.

Pelosi also reflected on the importance of politics for the future of children and the country, emphasizing her commitment to protecting American working families and preventing Donald Trump from remaining in office. In response to questions about the political tensions, she remained focused on the long-term goals for the party, predicting that the Democrats’ prospects would improve ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. Pelosi expressed confidence that by the time the campaigns began, the political landscape would shift in the Democrats’ favor.
