Nancy Pelosi Endorses Kamala Harris For President, Slams Donald Trump
In a powerful speech delivered at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday, California Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi officially endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president, delivering a scathing critique of former President Donald Trump for his role in the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack.
Pelosi also gave her full support to vice presidential nominee, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, and lauded the Biden administration’s accomplishments.
Pelosi’s endorsement of Harris comes at a critical juncture in the Democratic Party. Her recent encouragement that President Joe Biden step aside from the presidential race is widely seen as a decisive factor in his eventual decision to bow out.
This move has reportedly strained Pelosi’s relationship with some in the Biden administration, with a few of Biden’s longtime staffers expressing open frustration. However, those aligned with Harris have praised Pelosi’s intervention as necessary and courageous.

The convention also saw subtle yet clear displays of Pelosi’s influence within the party. On Tuesday, during the roll-call vote, California Governor Gavin Newsom introduced himself as hailing from “the great state of Nancy Pelosi,” signaling her enduring sway in California politics and beyond.
Additionally, some attendees wore pins bearing Pelosi’s likeness, captioned “The Godmother,” a nod to her powerful role in the Democratic Party, reminiscent of the iconic character from “The Godfather” series.
Pelosi’s speech was a testament to her unwavering commitment to the Democratic Party and her unshakeable influence within it. Her endorsement of Harris is expected to carry significant weight, as the two women have a long history of working together on key legislation and share a deep commitment to progressive values.
As the Democratic Party looks to the future, Pelosi’s leadership and guidance will be crucial in navigating the challenges ahead. Her speech on Wednesday was a powerful reminder of her enduring legacy and her continued relevance in the party she has served for decades.
