President Donald Trump’s victory over Vice President Kamala Harris has shaken the Democratic Party, sparking internal blame and scrutiny—especially toward former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Pelosi played a key role in persuading President Joe Biden to step aside, clearing the way for Harris’ nomination. However, Harris failed to resonate with voters, leading to a landslide defeat that has weakened Pelosi’s influence. Critics argue the party’s leadership mishandled the transition, ignoring voter concerns on key issues like the economy and border security.

Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy blamed Pelosi for orchestrating Biden’s removal, calling it undemocratic. Meanwhile, progressives like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez warn of an impending authoritarian era under Trump.

With the Democratic Party in turmoil, Pelosi’s future remains uncertain. As calls for new leadership grow, figures like Hakeem Jeffries and Gretchen Whitmer are emerging as potential successors, signaling a major shift within the party.
