Nancy Pelosi, the former House Speaker, admits there could be some hard feelings with President Joe Biden. She did this by helping to facilitate a “soft coup” that led to Kamala Harris becoming the Democratic nominee.
Pelosi (D-CA), in a recent podcast episode of “The Guardian’s Politics Weekly America”, spoke to British journalist Jonathan Freedland. She revealed that Biden had not spoken with her since being forced out.
She replied, “No, not since then.” “But I am praying about it.”
Reports have been surfacing since July, despite initial denials. They indicate that Pelosi is likely to be the nail in the coffin for Biden. He fought against pressure from other Democrats wanting him to withdraw from the race. After a disastrous performance in the debate against former president Donald Trump, the entire Democratic Party was ecstatic. The party and the media were exposed in that debate – they had failed to conceal Biden’s cognitive degeneration on live TV.
Insiders have leaked the fact that Pelosi gave Biden an ultimatum – drop his reelection bid, or else she will publish polls that show he cannot beat Trump and humiliate her friend of more than 50 years.
The Guardian reports that the top Democrat has admitted to not being concerned about Biden’s or the nation’s health when he decided to install Harris. It was a simple tactical move to win the elections.
She said, “Elections are a decision.” “You decide whether you want to win. I made a decision a long time ago that Donald Trump would never again set foot in The White House as President of the United States, or in any other capacity.”
Pelosi added, “When you make a choice, you must make it in the best interest of the winner, and the most important of all decisions is the candidate.”
It is an astonishing admission by the Democrats who have a history of saying that their opponents are the real threat to democracy. They simply decided to replace the man chosen by their voters to take on Trump with someone with a better chance. Someone who received zero votes.
Nancy Pelosi called out by Bill Maher for making Biden step down:
Bill Maher: “Sometimes you’re discouraging people to run.”
Pelosi: “People make their own decisions.”
Maher: “Absolutely they do.”

The former House Speaker dismissed forgiveness concerns and insisted that it was not the friendship of decades that mattered. The only thing that matters is winning.
Do you think that he has not forgiven you for your role? Freedland then asked.
She laughed after a long silence. “It’s possible that some people in his circle haven’t forgiven my role.” “In any case, we have to win this election.”
“That’s (where) I focus my attention.” “I’m praying about our friendship and everything else,” she said dismissively. “His legacy needed to be protected for this other guy to win.”
Pelosi’s refusal to name Trump is not unimportant. She explained that as a Catholic who loves abortion, she couldn’t say it.
She explained, “I rarely say his name.” “I find [Trump] to be a grotesque term… you just don’t want the word to pass your lips. “I just don’t.”
“I am afraid that when I was a child, and still am today if I said a bad thing, I could be burned in hell if I didn’t get a chance to confess. Pelosi said, “I don’t want any risks.” “It’s right up there with swearing.”
Biden seems to have a grudge against his removal from the campaign trail. It’s not just directed at Pelosi.
Harris has repeatedly made comments in public that have portrayed the economy, and Harris by extension, in a negative light.
Biden, who for years claimed to have ‘created 10 million jobs’, finally acknowledged that most of them were created by the pandemic. He then claimed credit for the good economy that the administration considers to be a success, which undercut Harris, who would no doubt like to claim credit.
Biden allowed the media even to photograph him wearing a “Trump 2024 cap” during a 9/11 Anniversary event.

Biden held his first press conference as president in the White House’s briefing room earlier this month. He did so ahead of a Harris and Walz rally in Flint. In a follow-up effort, he praised Florida Governor Ron DeSantis loudly as they worked together to clean up after recent hurricanes. This negated claims made by Veep about the latter politicizing the efforts by ignoring Veep’s calls.
It appeared that the adults in Harris’ campaign were busy taking care of their business, while the children were desperate for attention at a time of crisis.
Understandably, Biden and Pelosi are bitter, given how she ruined his legacy. She’s protecting the very one she claims to be protecting.
She’ll be forever known for her calculated move, which will make him look like a man who could not beat Trump due to his mental insufficiencies. Will he speak to her again?
