Jill Biden has publicly turned on Nancy Pelosi, criticising her “disappointing” move to oust her husband from the presidential race.

The former speaker clashed with Donald Trump throughout his first term, and the acrimony between the two persisted after he left office.

The first lady says the Democratic revolt against her husband’s re-election bid taught her ‘a lot about human nature.’

A spokesperson for Pelosi, who attended Trump’s 2017 inauguration, did not provide an explanation for the move.

The first lady spoke about Pelosi and the other Democrats who had reservations about her husband running for a second term. She also shared details of a recent interaction with Donald Trump and what she wishes people remember about both her and her husband.

Pelosi was one of Trump's chief critics during his first term, famously tearing up his State of the Union address in 2020.

First lady Jill Biden on Wednesday said she was disappointed in former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., over the role Pelosi played in the president dropping out of the 2024 race.

Nancy Pelosi will not attend Donald Trump’s inauguration on Monday. Pelosi attended the president-elect’s first inauguration in 2017, but will be a mystery no-show this time around, reported ABC News and The Hill.

Lawmakers plan to skip the festivities surrounding the incoming Republican president for various reasons, as Democrats lick their wounds after election season.
