The GOP’s victories were not limited to the presidential race. In addition to Trump’s win, Republicans successfully gained control of the Senate, adding America First figures such as Senator-elect Bernie Moreno of Ohio to their ranks.

In a recent interview, Pelosi suggested that the election results “would have been different” if the Democratic Party had conducted a primary process rather than endorsing Kamala Harris as the nominee.

Pelosi’s comments came during her appearance on The Interview podcast with The New York Times on November 9, where she reflected on the party’s decision to rally behind Harris after President Biden stepped aside.

“And as I say, Kamala may have, I think she would have done well in [a primary] and been stronger going forward. But we don’t know that. That didn’t happen. We live with what happened,” Pelosi said.

She added, “And because the president endorsed Kamala Harris immediately, that really made it almost impossible to have a primary at that time. If it had been much earlier, it would have been different.”

These remarks contrast with Pelosi’s earlier stance.

In an earlier interview, months before the election, Pelosi characterized the nomination process as an “open” one.
