First Lady Jill Biden has had enough. She’s telling the truth.
That’s why Jill Biden dropped a bombshell attack on Nancy Pelosi that’s left jaws on the floor.
Back in the first half of July 2024, Joe Biden was still claiming that he was going to be the one to run against Donald Trump in the general election cycle, even after he turned in a shocking debate performance against Donald Trump in June. The calls for him to dropout were growing louder and louder from his camp, but he was defiant and was serious in his tone that he was defiant. Clearly, he believed he was the only one worthy of the Democrat nomination.
And despite the fact that millions of Americans were unfairly kept in the dark on Joe Biden’s failing mental health and the fact that he is severely unpopular, he did technically win the primary process. To be clear, the Democrats went out of their way to prevent any challenges to his nomination, but he had the votes and was just days away from officially being the Democrat nominee for the general election season.
Then the hammer dropped on Joe Biden. Rumors started flying that Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer were planning on publicly causing chaos for the Democrats unless Joe Biden stepped aside. To make matters worse, Joe Biden’s closest allies were trying to keep these questions of Joe Biden’s capability of running for President from getting out of control. It became clear there was a rift between Joe Biden’s crew and the high-profile Democrats who wanted to kick him to the curb.
In the middle of all this, Jill Biden was reportedly a fierce ally of her husband Joe Biden. Now, after all the dust has settled, she’s making it clear it was Nancy Pelosi all along pulling the strings. Jill Biden is now calling out Nancy Pelosi, saying it is shameful that Pelosi did not stick by President Joe from the start. Understandably, the First Lady is upset about the way her husband’s career is ending, especially considering the way Kamala Harris got laughed out of the room in the elections.
Jill Biden Criticizes Nancy Pelosi for Not Supporting President Biden in 2024 Race
First Lady Jill Biden recently expressed her disappointment over former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s refusal to stand by her husband, President Joe Biden, as the Democratic Party’s calls for him to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race gained momentum. This tension unfolded following Biden’s underwhelming performance in a June 27 debate, which led nearly 40 Democratic members of Congress to urge the president to consider stepping down.
In a July 10 interview with MSNBC, Pelosi declined to publicly declare her support for Biden’s reelection campaign, even as his political future seemed uncertain. Her refusal to offer her backing came despite the growing pressure within the Democratic Party to shift away from Biden. When asked whether she supported the president’s bid for a second term, Pelosi refrained from providing a clear answer, leaving many to speculate about her stance.
This uncertainty surrounding Pelosi’s position would continue to build throughout the summer. In an August 6 interview, Pelosi rejected the notion that she was leading the charge against Biden’s candidacy, although reports later indicated that she had been involved in efforts to persuade the president to exit the race. Pelosi would also admit she hadn’t spoken to Biden since July 21, the day he ultimately decided to drop out.
Jill Biden did not hold back in her criticism of Pelosi’s actions, which she described as “disappointing.” In an interview with The Washington Post, the First Lady expressed her frustration with Pelosi, noting the long-standing friendship between the two women. “We’ve been friends for so many years,” she said, reflecting on how the situation had unfolded.

The relationship between Pelosi and Biden became increasingly strained as the former Speaker reportedly played a role in behind-the-scenes efforts to encourage the president to bow out of the race. According to sources cited by Politico in July, Pelosi had bluntly informed the president that his campaign was over, suggesting he could exit “the easy way or the hard way.” These developments added further strain to an already tense political climate as calls for Biden’s withdrawal continued to intensify.
In an interview published November 9 in *The New York Times*, Pelosi indicated that Biden’s hesitation to step aside had consequences for Vice President Kamala Harris, whom she suggested could have had a stronger chance against then-President Donald Trump had she been given more time to campaign. This public commentary seemed to further escalate the fallout from Biden’s decision to leave the race.
After Biden dropped out, reports indicated that he held significant anger toward Pelosi, with sources saying that he also expressed frustration with other key figures, including former President Barack Obama and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. In a candid interview with The Washington Post, Biden reflected on his decision to exit the race, admitting regret. “I think I could have beaten Trump,” he said, suggesting that, in hindsight, he believed he was still a strong contender.
As tensions within the Democratic Party grew, the fallout from Pelosi’s actions left an indelible mark on Biden and his inner circle, with many reflecting on what could have been if the president had chosen to fight for his re-election bid.
