‘She Needs to Take a Seat,’ House Democrats Turn on Nancy Pelosi As Civil War Begins

Are Democrats finally getting sick of Rep. Nancy Pelosi ruling the roost? A new report is shedding some light on the internal civil war that has broken out within the Democratic Party, and the California congresswoman has found herself at the center of it. And to be clear, it’s completely her fault.

Pelosi made waves over the summer when she led the effort to end President Joe Biden’s re-election effort, ultimately leading to the coronation of Kamala Harris. I don’t think I need to explain how that turned out. Yet, in the aftermath of Donald Trump’s landslide victory, Pelosi is still talking, and some of her colleagues are just about sick of it. 

House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is ticking off some House Democrats for publicly opining on what her party did wrong in 2024.

Why it matters: Pelosi needs to let House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) lead the caucus, Democrats tell Axios.

  • “She needs to take a seat,” said one senior Democratic lawmaker.
  • “Making scattershot comments is not just unhelpful, it’s damaging,” said the lawmaker.

“Hakeem has been tremendously graceful and respectful of her, but I don’t think she is being respectful of him,” said a member of the Congressional Black Caucus.

The latest controversy was sparked by Pelosi telling The New York Times that had Biden dropped out sooner, the election may have turned out differently. Specifically, she cited the possibility of having a compressed primary instead of anointing Harris, which is what ultimately occurred. 

Is she wrong? Not necessarily, but how do Democrats want to hear what they “should” have done from the person who so royally screwed things up that Donald Trump, the man they compare to Adolf Hitler, got re-elected? Pelosi flew too close to the sun. She believed herself to be above the will of her party’s primary voters and executed a soft coup on the rightful nominee. The result was an abject disaster.

So can you blame other Democrats for saying enough is enough when it comes to her holier-than-thou attitude about what should have occurred? Pelosi is 84 years old and promised to step aside for Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. Instead, she took on the made-up title of “Speaker Emerita” and still called the shots from the shadows. That she failed so miserably has turned what was formerly fear and respect among the Democratic caucus into resentment. 

The bottom line: Some Democrats are clearly frustrated Pelosi isn’t fading into the sunset like she promised when she lost the gavel two years ago.

  • “My advice to my fellow Democrats is simple: Follow the leader. Hakeem Jeffries has done a great job,” Pelosi said in 2023.
  • “I understand that this is a difficult transition for her, not being the leader, but she is not,” the member of the Congressional Black Caucus told us.
  • “She needs to understand what her new role is.”

Her new role should be retirement. What exactly is she sticking around for? Much less still trying to run the caucus? Those are rhetorical questions. 

Pelosi won’t go away because her ego won’t let her. She’s sociopathic in her pursuit of power and prestige, and while the press has long lauded her as a historic figure, reality tells a different story. Despite doing everything she could to take down the Republican Party, she ended up being the Speaker who lost the gavel twice. Worse, she helped usher Donald Trump into office twice.

She desperately wants to save her legacy, but pushing Biden out to defeat the bad orange man was likely her last chance at redemption. It’s all downhill from here whether she wants to accept it or not, and if she doesn’t, the civil war in the Democratic Party will only get worse.
