Pelosi's post-election comments are criticized by Democrats as 'damaging', with some calling for her to step down.
Some House Democrats are expressing frustration that Pelosi is not retiring as promised, according to Axios.
Nancy Pelosi, the former House Speaker and a prominent Democrat from California, now seems to be at odds with President Biden and some members of her own party in the House.
After weeks of defections from Democratic lawmakers, Biden made history by stepping down from the Democratic Party ticket. Reports suggest that Pelosi coordinated the effort to force him to withdraw, leading to a frosty relationship between the two.
Pelosi blamed Biden for Harris' loss, stating that if he had dropped out earlier, there might have been other candidates in the race, according to an interview with the New York Times' "The Interview" podcast.
Some members of her party are not happy with her thoughts after the election.
According to Axios, in a headline titled "Scoop: House Dems Tired of Pelosi," despite her ability to instill fear in her followers for the past two decades, some Democrats are frustrated that Pelosi isn't retiring as she had promised after losing the gavel two years ago.
A senior Democratic lawmaker responded to Pelosi's comments on the election.
"The lawmaker advised the news outlet that "scattershot comments are not just unhelpful, but damaging.""
A member of the Congressional Black Caucus informed Axios that the transition from being a leader to not leading is challenging for her, but she is capable of adapting.
The unnamed member contended that Pelosi is not allowing Hakeem Jeffries to succeed her as House Minority Leader, asserting, "Although Hakeem has been very courteous and considerate towards her, I believe she is not showing the same level of respect to him."
Understanding her new role is necessary for her, the member concluded.
A spokesperson for Pelosi commended Hakeem Jeffries' leadership of the House Democratic Caucus, stating that Speaker Pelosi is proud of his progress and should be praised.
