Nancy Pelosi, once a dominant force in the Democratic Party, is facing intense scrutiny after Donald Trump’s decisive victory over Kamala Harris. Pelosi played a key role in pushing Joe Biden out of the race, paving the way for Harris— a move now seen as a miscalculation. Harris struggled to connect with voters, leading to a landslide defeat that has fractured the party.
Pelosi’s influence, once unquestioned, is now under fire, with critics blaming her for backroom maneuvering and a lack of voter engagement. Kevin McCarthy has accused her of undermining democracy, while progressives like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez warn of rising authoritarianism.
