Love her or hate her, there is one thing about Nancy Pelosi: she gets stuff done. Most of it is atrocious on policy, but when it comes to the inner workings of the Democratic Party, she can be a savior or the grim reaper. For Joe Biden, she was the harbinger of death to his presidency. Other horsemen led the Biden White House to its apocalypse, but it seems like Pelosi was the one who fired the kill shot. The woman is lethal, which has been known to the people covering her. It’s fallen by the wayside, but she kneecapped the Squad shortly after Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was elected, ensuring they’re visible and vocal but never a threat. That’s the Hill. On this game hunt, she took down a presidency when it became clear that a) Biden was going to decimate Democrats down ballot, and b) Joe was trying to run out the clock. The president tried the bunker protocol he had used in the 2020 election, hiding until Pelosi dropped some grenades into it. The former House Speaker was done with the president’s foot-dragging and poll denialism. The Democrats were approaching an embarrassing defeat if he remained a la Jimmy Carter in 1980. It’s here that she essentially blackmailed the president, saying she would denounce him viciously in public, making her the most prominent Democrat to do so, and would cite brutal polling to back up her new aggressive attitude toward the president. With Pelosi’s public denouncement, the dam, which was already about to bust, would have collapsed (via NY Post)
Frankly, I prefer the 25th Amendment story, but whatever the scenario, it shows how weak this presidency was, something that Pelosi alluded to post-Biden dropout. The California liberal trashed the president’s political operation, as she should—they allowed him to get booted. With all its institutional advantages, the US presidency can and should be able to snuff out internal issues quickly. Yet, it’s only as strong as the man behind the desk. Pelosi knew that and sniped Biden, who reportedly hasn’t spoken to her in days. It’s got to the point where Pelosi appears worried that this relationship might be permanently fractured. I’d say so until Joe completely forgets who he is. Trending on Townhall Videos |
