Jill Biden Breaks Silence On Pelosi, Says 50-Year Friendship Ended Over Election Dispute

Jill Biden has publicly expressed her disappointment in former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, citing her actions during the 2024 election as the cause of a rift between the two women. In a candid exit interview, Jill reflected on their once-close friendship of 50 years, which she claims ended after Pelosi’s behind-the-scenes efforts to push Joe Biden out of the race.

“We were friends for 50 years,” Jill Biden said, recalling the history they shared. “It was disappointing,” she added, revealing the emotional impact Pelosi’s actions had on her and her husband. Mary Doody, a long-time family friend, echoed Jill’s sentiments, calling Pelosi’s behavior “awful” and “disrespectful.”

The tensions between Pelosi and the Biden family began following Joe Biden’s poor performance in the June 2024 debate, which sparked concerns among some Democratic leaders. Pelosi was reportedly one of the key figures urging Joe Biden to step aside and allow for a more open primary. Jill Biden, who was already upset by the public questioning of her husband’s candidacy, found this pressure to be a betrayal.

Jill’s feelings of betrayal were further complicated by her own political ambitions. Known for wanting to maintain influence and power, Jill saw Pelosi’s actions as an effort to undermine her husband’s authority. After Joe Biden dropped out of the race in July, Jill Biden supported his immediate endorsement of Kamala Harris, signaling a rejection of Pelosi’s push for an open primary.

The personal animosity between Jill and Pelosi was clear, and it seemed that Jill was not willing to forgive Pelosi for what she perceived as a betrayal of her husband’s leadership. “It was awful,” Mary Doody said of Jill’s feelings, adding that Joe Biden did not deserve the treatment he received from Pelosi.

Jill Biden also made a subtle jab at Michelle Obama, whose absence from several key events, including Donald Trump’s inauguration and Jimmy Carter’s funeral, raised eyebrows. “Joe and I respect our institutions, our traditions,” Jill noted, subtly contrasting her own commitment to tradition with Obama’s perceived lack of involvement in such moments.
