Earth to exasperated Democrats: You’re not getting free of “Speaker Emerita” Nancy Pelosi.
Per aggregate Post sources, younger Democrats are fed up pinch being led by an octogenarian multimillionaire who represents everything voters rejected successful 2024 — and truthful are trying to loosen Pelosi’s white-knuckle grip connected nan party.
Good luck pinch that: Nancy doesn’t cede power; she hoards it.
Notably, moreover aft stepping down arsenic House Democrats’ charismatic leader successful 2022, she still reportedly “can’t thief herself” from sticking “her manus successful each decision” facing their current leader, Hakeem Jeffries.
And she’s certainly not giving up her House spot to immoderate sparky up-and-comers, either — different sore constituent for nan party’s bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, under-80 helping .
She’s already revenge nan paperwork to tally again successful 2026.
All this, erstwhile Pelosi was the driving unit successful getting President Joe Biden to measurement down arsenic Dems’ nominee past twelvemonth erstwhile it became undeniable he’d simply aged excessively overmuch to person immoderate dream of winning, and would only resistance nan remainder of nan statement down pinch him.
As Pelosi herself has pointed out, she’s older than Biden, moreover if she hasn’t declined arsenic severely (yet).
No matter: Nancy won’t move aside, whether it’s because she has nary hobbies to prosecute successful status aliases because her husband, Paul, doesn’t — and truthful can’t unrecorded without nan wrong tips that led to nan well-timed banal trades that person netted nan Pelosis countless millions complete her first 20 position successful nan House.
After 40 years successful “public service,” she has an estimated nett worthy of $250 million.
That doesn’t look awesome to voters, either, but Democrats person put up pinch it each this clip (just arsenic they ignored Biden’s family-driven corruption).
And members of Congress look nary property limits or word limits; hence specified ghoulish scenes arsenic Sen. Dianne Feinstein being wheeled onto nan Senate floor astatine 90 to ballot hours earlier her decease successful 2023.
Perhaps Pelosi will beryllium wiser; connected nan different hand, Dems now person vacancies successful two safe seats acknowledgment to older members dying successful office.
In this way, astatine least, politicians are nary different than nan remainder of america — isolated from that their gifts almost ever see being fantabulous liars . . . moreover to themselves.
