The first lady and Pelosi used to be good friends. But not anymore.
And Jill Biden has unleashed on Nancy Pelosi for this all-time betrayal.
As her tenure as first lady nears its conclusion, Jill Biden offered candid reflections in an interview with The Washington Post. Discussing key relationships and pivotal moments, she expressed disappointment in former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) for her role in President Joe Biden’s decision to step out of the 2024 presidential race.
“It’s been on my mind a lot lately, and—” Jill Biden remarked. “We were friends for 50 years. It was disappointing,” she said to the Post.
Pelosi, a prominent figure in the Democratic Party, had publicly wavered in her support for Biden’s reelection after his lackluster debate performance.
In a July appearance on Morning Joe, Pelosi commented, “It’s up to the president to decide if he is going to run,” a striking departure from Biden’s consistent declarations that he would remain in the race.
“Let’s just say I was disappointed with how it unfolded,” Jill Biden admitted, reflecting on Pelosi’s influence in the campaign.
Pelosi was a pivotal force in a broader Democratic effort urging Biden to step aside. According to reports, top party leaders, including former President Barack Obama and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., worked discreetly to convince Biden to withdraw amid concerns about his viability against Republican nominee Donald Trump.
Pelosi, in hindsight, reportedly expressed regret that Biden did not exit the race earlier, particularly after Vice President Kamala Harris’ loss to President-elect Trump.
Despite the mounting pressure, Jill Biden remained confident in her husband’s capacity to serve. “I mean, today, I think he has a full schedule. He started early with interviews and briefings, and it just keeps going,” she told The Washington Post.
President Biden himself expressed uncertainty in a separate interview with USA Today, stating, “Who the h*ll knows? So far, so good. But who knows what I’m going to be when I’m 86 years old?”
Jill Biden also addressed another deeply personal matter in the interview: President Biden’s decision to pardon their son, Hunter Biden.
“Joe really wrestled with that decision,” she explained. “I mean, we started— he started at the point where he said he wasn’t going to pardon Hunter. But then I think things changed. Circumstances changed, and it became quite apparent and obvious that the Republicans weren’t going to stop.”
As the Bidens prepare for life beyond the White House, Jill Biden’s reflections offer a glimpse into the personal and political dynamics that have shaped their journey.
They also show how the Democrat Party backstabs those who are of no use to them anymore.
Once President Biden proved that he wasn’t able to defeat Donald Trump in the presidential election, top Democrats like Nancy Pelosi decided that it was time for him to step down whether he liked it or not.
Jill Biden learned the hard way that politics is a rough business and even your own party will be against you if they have no chance of having a positive outcome at the end of an election.
Now the question is, will Joe and Jill Biden be able to forgive Nancy Pelosi?
Only time will tell.
