Nancy Pelosi hopes to repair relations with Bidens

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi addressed her strained relationship with former First Lady Jill Biden during an MSNBC interview, acknowledging that they have not spoken since the fallout over Biden's withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race. Pelosi has been criticized for her role in pressuring President Biden to step aside following a poor debate performance, which led to a public rift between her and the Bidens. Jill Biden expressed her disappointment in Pelosi in a previous interview, highlighting their long-standing friendship of over 50 years. When asked if reconciliation was possible, Pelosi expressed hope but confirmed they had not communicated. She also defended her position, arguing that the Democrats did not lose seats in the House and suggesting that Biden would not have performed better against Trump than Vice President Kamala Harris. Despite the tension, Pelosi emphasized a shared commitment to American families and the Democratic mission.
