President Trump’s victory over Vice President Kamala Harris marks a shift away from the influence of older political leaders like Nancy Pelosi.
Pelosi, once a powerful force in the Democratic Party, faces the loss of her influence, particularly after her role in pressuring President Biden to exit the race.
The blame for the Democratic losses, including Senate flips and tight House races, is being placed on Pelosi. Former GOP leaders like Kevin McCarthy have criticized her involvement in Biden’s exit, calling it an attack on democracy.
Meanwhile, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez warns of the rise of “fascism” and “authoritarianism” under Trump’s leadership, urging Democrats to unite and resist.
