Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was visibly teary-eyed as she awaited Vice President Kamala Harris to acknowledge her defeat in the 2024 presidential election at Howard University.
Pelosi was photographed with tearful expressions as she greeted supporters following Harris’ loss to former President Trump, whose victory surprised many.
The relationship between Pelosi and Trump is contentious, with both exchanging insults publicly.
Trump described Pelosi as something that “starts with a B.”
“She’s an evil, sick, crazy—,” the Republican president-elect said. “It starts with a ‘B,’ but I won’t say it. I wanna say it.”
Pelosi recently stated, “[Voters] have to know that he can’t last as president for four years with his brain deteriorating at the rate that it is… and they may be voting for President Vance, which would be a horrible thing for our country.”
“The only thing deteriorating is Nancy Pelosi, who is a decrepit washed up corrupt politician who America can no longer stand,” Trump campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt said. “She should go back to the City of San Francisco, which she has totally destroyed, and never return.”
Trump’s campaign criticized Pelosi, calling her a “decrepit washed up corrupt politician.”
