After Donald Trump’s 2024 win, a comment from former Speaker Nancy Pelosi resurfaced: “There’s no point in saying ‘good morning,’ because it certainly is not one.” This quote, originally said at another event, became a symbol of frustration within the Democratic Party post-defeat, with Republicans using it to reflect their view of the party’s mood.
Kevin McCarthy blamed Pelosi for the loss, criticizing her push for Kamala Harris as the nominee. He claimed Pelosi’s behind-the-scenes influence forced Biden out and left the party without a strong candidate.
McCarthy also criticized Harris’s choice of running mate, Tim Walz, saying it failed to energize voters and hurt the party in key swing states. He believed this decision contributed to the loss.
Though Pelosi never directly called for Biden’s exit, her comments and dissatisfaction with his campaign fueled speculation about her influence in shaping the Democratic ticket.
