Here’s a more concise version:
Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman blamed former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for the Democrats’ poor showing in the 2024 elections. In a Politico interview, he criticized Pelosi for her role in pushing Biden out and supporting Kamala Harris, saying, “You got what you wanted and now you’re still blaming Biden.”
Fetterman also spoke against Pelosi’s handling of the situation, particularly her belief that Biden should not have endorsed Harris. He questioned why Pelosi, at age 84, was still holding onto power instead of making way for younger leadership.
He also rejected the label of “fascists” for Trump supporters, saying it’s not helpful for Democrats to use such divisive language. Fetterman concluded that harder scolding won’t work with voters.
Pelosi now faces calls to step down after Democrats lost control in the 2024 elections. Teamsters International President Sean O’Brien, in a Fox News interview, urged Pelosi and Sen. Chuck Schumer to step aside after Republicans regained control of the White House, Senate, and House.
