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.’

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.

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.

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

A spokesperson for the Democratic House speaker emerita wouldn't say why she is missing the high-profile event.

Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) will not be attending President-elect Trump’s inauguration on Monday, her spokesperson confirmed to The Hill. Pelosi returned to Washington earlier this month for the entrance of the new class of lawmakers after undergoing hip replacement surgery in Germany following a fall in Luxembourg in December.
