‘She Needs to Take a Seat’: House Democrats Frustrated With Pelosi, Say She’s Undermining Jeffries’s Leadership
16th November 2024
House Democrats are frustrated with former House speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) for her public comments on her party’s campaign failures, saying she’s undermining the leadership of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D., N.Y.), Axios reported.
“She needs to take a seat,” a senior Democratic lawmaker told Axios.
A member of the Congressional Black Caucus said Pelosi is not being “respectful” of Jeffries even though the minority leader “has been tremendously graceful and respectful of her.”
“I understand that this is a difficult transition for her, not being the leader, but she is not,” the lawmaker continued. “She needs to understand what her new role is.”
