Nancy Pelosi praised Joe Biden and "democracy" on Wednesday night, following reports that she played a key role in removing him as the Democratic Party's candidate for president.
Pelosi stated, "On January 20th, 2021, with the inauguration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, we established one of the most successful presidencies of modern times. We quickly proved that Democrats deliver millions of jobs, stronger infrastructure and rural broadband, a Biden child tax credit, rescuing human pensions, honoring our veterans, bold climate action, lowering the cost of prescription drugs, all thanks to President Biden’s patriotic vision of a fairer America, doing so with liberty and justice for all. Thank you, Joe."
In July 2024, Pelosi took credit in an interview for orchestrating what has been described as a silent coup within the Democratic Party to replace Biden. Less than a month ago, party elites removed Biden from his candidacy during a weekend when he was reportedly absent due to COVID-19. Upon his return a week later, he was no longer the Democratic candidate for president.
Rumors circulated that Pelosi was behind this maneuver. She confirmed her involvement in an interview with The New Yorker last week.
Tonight she praised "democracy."
