In a moment of live TV more fitting for a comedy series, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) arrived center stage during the third night of the Democratic National Convention only to stop and look behind her at what appeared to be a segment of toilet paper falling out from one of her pant legs.

Pelosi’s embarrassing faux pas occurred toward the latter half of the night when she arrived in a lavender pantsuit to heap praises on President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, retell her experiences on J6, and fearmonger about the dangers former President Donald Trump poses to democracy. All of those messages may have been wiped clean from the minds of viewers who saw Pelosi reach the podium, and then awkwardly look behind her toward the floor to see what she felt run down her leg. What might horrify any normal American was brushed off by Pelosi, who turned and began speaking to the legions of Democratic voters applauding her.

Not the Bee took the time to slow down footage capturing the white piece of cloth dropping out of Pelosi’s left pant leg, showing that it had a bit of “heft” to it. Naturally, the author conducted a science experiment to see whether the culprit was actually toilet paper, handkerchief, napkin, envelope, postcard, or something else entirely.

They conclude based on the experiment that the fallen item appears to fall most similarly to a notecard dropped at the same height. However, the distance between the camera and Pelosi’s incident makes it impossible to know for certain. As they note, only viewers sitting stage right may have gotten an answer, and even then it’s unlikely.

The convention’s third night was capped by Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s acceptance of the Democratic Party’s nomination for vice president, an opportunity he used to play “Minnesota nice” for the crowd and act as Harris’s number-one hype man. ”Kamala Harris is tough, Kamala Harris is experienced, and Kamala Harris is ready,” he said, the Boston Globe reported. “Our job is to get in the trenches and do the blocking and tackling.” Rather than touting his own aspirations for a Harris-Walz administration, he stuck tightly to the supportive role of deputy-in-chief. “He didn’t come in with a list of demands and things he wanted to work on,” said Ken Martin, chairman of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party and a close confidant of Walz. “He said, ‘Whatever you need me to do to make this administration successful, I’m going to do.’ ”

As Walz took the stage, Trump released on Truth Social a devastating new 30-second ad stoking fears about Harris’s “radical ideas…. [to] raise money to fund the release of violent criminals” while California attorney general. The Republican highlighted the release of Shawn Michael Tillman, a repeat felon who was released and later charged with murder. The GOP continues to search for its most effective lines of attack against Harris and Walz and enjoys a wealth of subjects to draw on: claims about Walz’s “stolen valor” military service and his wife’s false statements about using IVF to Harris’s clunky deliveries and reticence to speak with the press.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi once again doubled down on her involvement in a pressure campaign aimed at getting President Biden to suspend his re-election bid during the first night of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on Monday.

CNN host Jake Tapper asked Pelosi if she has spoken with President Biden since his unprecedented decision to suspend his presidential campaign, leading to Harris securing the nomination without a single primary vote cast for her. Pelosi has been implicated as a major player in the scheme by a number of sources both inside the White House and the upper echelons of the Democratic Party. The former House speaker has also spoken candidly in a number of interviews this month as well, a theme she continued on Monday.

“I did what I had to do,” Pelosi told the panel. “He made the decision for the country. My concern was not about the president, it was about his campaign.”

Tapper asked her about any “residual bad blood,” between herself and the president, noting that Biden advisor Anita Dunn has reportedly voiced her disgust with Pelosi.

“Sometimes you just have to take a punch for the children,” Pelosi replied with a laugh.

A little over two weeks after President Biden decided to suspend his campaign, a “source close to the Biden family” told the New York Post about a highly coordinated plot hatched by top Democratic Party leaders aimed at pressuring Biden to resign. The plot involved former President Barack Obama, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Pelosi, who were described by veteran journalist Seymour Harsh as “the big three” in a separate report.

A “well-placed Democratic source” told the New York Post that they have heard the same, and that Biden’s endorsement of Harris was his way of asserting control. The second source reported that former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) wanted to hold a “mini primary” instead. Obama was reportedly confident that Harris would not win under such a scenario.

Multiple sources told the outlet that Obama was a big supporter of inserting Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) atop the Democratic Party ticket. Biden’s decision to endorse Harris was described as a “f**k you” to party leaders for forcing him out.

Pelosi, 84, has been described as perhaps the most active leader in the effort to oust Biden, according to a recent report from the Daily Mail.

The San Francisco Democrat reportedly threatened tocgo public with her concerns over Biden’s abilities if he refused to step aside. These concerns were conveyed directly to the president in a phone conversation in which Pelosi threatened to publish her own damaging poll information

The former House speaker’s demands were so effective that they triggered a “come to Jesus moment” for Biden, who then ordered his staffers to draft a letter of resignation from the race.

In addition, the report noted that tensions between Pelosi and Biden remain high and had not spoken to each other in weeks.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) threatened to go public with concerns over President Biden’s cognitive decline and ability to lead if he refused to end his re-election bid, according to a new report from the Daily Mail.

Biden had vowed to stay in the race until a shocking decision to step down on July 21. He continued to hold on despite weeks of public and private pressure from prominent Democrat lawmakers, donors and strategists.

Both White House and Democratic Party insiders have reported that a group of the most prominent left-wing politicians in the country — including former President Barack Obama, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and Pelosi — increased pressure on the president in private conversations.

According to a new report from the Daily Mail, Pelosi, 84, threatened to go public with her concerns over Biden’s abilities if he refused to step aside. These concerns were conveyed directly to the president in a phone conversation in which Pelosi threatened to publish her own damaging poll information.

The former House speaker’s demands were so effective that they triggered a “come to Jesus moment” for Biden, who then ordered his staffers to draft a letter of resignation from the race.

Tensions between the two prominent Democrats appear to remain, as the two have not spoken since.

Pelosi has denied her role in forcing the president to step aside. When asked whether she participated in a pressure campaign, Pelosi claimed that she did not make any direct phone calls.

The longtime Democrat leader appeared to contradict her statements during a recent interview with the New Yorker, however.

“I love him so much. I think he’s been a really a fantastic president of the United States. So I really wanted him to make a decision of a better campaign. Because they were not facing the fact of what was happening,” Pelosi told the New Yorker. “Just a little background. I’ve never been that impressed with his political operation.”

When asked to clarify, she confirmed that she was talking about President Biden’s political operation. “Yeah, I’m not. I mean, I just haven’t. They won the White House, bravo,” Pelosi said.

“But so my concern was this ain’t happening and we have to make a decision for this to happen and the president has to make the decision for that to happen. Let me just say, I won’t say necessarily I knew what I was doing at that time. I knew what I was doing in the whole thing, not just that ship,” the former House speaker went on to say.

At a Baltimore library event on Thursday, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s endorsement of Democrat Presidential candidate Kamala Harris might have landed her in hot water. Republican Maryland Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD) has claimed that Pelosi could be in violation of an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rule that bars nonprofits from participating in political activities, according to a letter he penned on Monday which was scooped up exclusively by the Daily Caller.

Pelosi, hailing from Baltimore, returned to her roots with a visit to the Central Enoch Pratt Free Library on Thursday evening. Initially billed as part of a book tour, the event quickly took on the air of a campaign rally as Pelosi threw her support behind Vice President Harris, the Democratic nominee for president.

“I didn’t know we could talk politics,” Pelosi remarked to a packed audience before scanning the room and adding, “I think we’re talking civics here right now, right?” she said according to The Baltimore Sun. Pelosi’s comments were in reference to an IRS rule that prevents nonprofit entities like the Pratt Library from engaging in campaign activities for political candidates.

“Why is Nancy Pelosi campaigning for presidential candidates at a nonprofit organization such as the Pratt Free Library in Baltimore?” Rep. Harris wrote on X. “There is supposed to be an IRS regulation that prohibits nonprofit organizations from engaging in elections. What is the Pratt Library’s tax exempt status?”

“Kamala Harris should be elected president of the United States because she is the best person for the job,” Pelosi continued in her speech before outlining the approach she believes the Democrat Party needs to adopt to secure victory.

“People vote in their self-interest,” she continued, “And we want to make sure they see their self-interest clearly in the distinction between the two parties. We have to make that case to the American people. It hasn’t been made strongly enough. They don’t fully appreciate it, and we take responsibility for their lack of appreciation. But we want to drive the message home.”

The Pratt Free Library, classified as a 501(c)(3) organization, is a nonprofit entity in the United States. The designation, provided by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), means that the library is recognized as a tax-exempt, charitable organization. Such organizations must be organized and operated exclusively for exempt purposes set forth in section 501(c)(3).

In practical terms, this status allows the library to receive tax-deductible charitable contributions from donors. However, it also places restrictions on the library’s activities, especially regarding political involvement. Specifically, 501(c)(3) organizations are prohibited from participating in any campaign activity for or against political candidates. This means they cannot endorse candidates, make donations to political campaigns, engage in fundraising activities related to political campaigns, or make public statements for or against a political candidate in an official capacity.

Rep. Andy Harris wrote in his letter to Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO), “Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi visited the Pratt library for what was described as a book tour, but what ended up being a campaign rally for Vice President Kamala Harris.”

On “CBS News Sunday Morning,” Joe Biden made a stunning revelation that he was nudged out of the presidential race by key Democrat figures, suggesting a behind-the-scenes maneuver that many suspected.

“Look, the polls we had showed that it was a neck and neck race. Would have been down to the wire,” Biden said. “But what happened was a number of my Democratic colleagues in the House and Senate thought that I was going to hurt them in the races.”

“And I was concerned if I stayed in the race, that would be the topic you’d be interviewing me about. Why did Nancy Pelosi say? Why did someone… and I thought it’d be a real distraction.”

The move to step down was reportedly influenced by Democratic heavyweights such as Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and Hakeem Jeffries, all of whom were allegedly worried about the repercussions of Biden’s candidacy on their own electoral prospects. The internal push came in the wake of Biden’s contentious debate performance against former President Donald Trump in late June, which many saw as detrimental to his campaign.

WATCH:

The president, 81, faced what public mutiny by numerous Democrats culminating in his decision to drop out of the race. Shortly after his withdrawal, Biden endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, who has since made strides in the polls against former President Donald Trump. The open admission by Biden opens a rare window about the unity and future direction of the Democrat Party as they brace for a fiercely competitive race against Trump.

“Nancy made clear that they could do this the easy way or the hard way,” revealed one Democrat to POLITICO in July. “She gave them three weeks of the easy way. It was about to be the hard way.”

“We were giving him the respect of the weekend to make his decision. We were hopeful that this is the decision we would make,” the source said. A lawmaker close to the leadership told the outlet that the president had “gone offline” spending time with his family. “He got the message.”

In a series of crucial meetings spread over three days, Biden held private discussions with top Democratic leaders, including Pelosi, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY). Schumer even made a discreet visit to Biden’s beach vacation home in Delaware.

This all aligned with a Washington Post report indicating that former President Barack Obama was also privately expressing his concerns about the viability of Biden’s campaign. As the inner circle debated, Democratic operatives were already preparing contingency plans to swiftly adapt to potential changes, but Biden’s abrupt announcement caught even them by surprise.

The night before, members of Biden’s inner circle firmly told a high-ranking Democrat that the president was resolute in continuing his campaign, stating “no ifs, ands or buts.” Roughly twenty-four hours after Biden dropped out, Pelosi officially issued her endorsement of Kamala Harris as the party’s next leader.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) admitted to her role in pressuring President Biden to drop out of the presidential race in a candid interview with The New Yorker.

Sources close to both the Biden family and the upper echelons of the Democratic Party have for weeks reported that a coordinated effort spearheaded by former President Barack Obama, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Pelosi was launched with the aim of pressuring Biden to step aside. The effort was launched after the president’s disastrous debate performance this past June.

According to a report from the New York Post, Pelosi, Obama and others signed off on using the 25th Amendment — under which a president would be forced to resign if deemed mentally incapable by cabinet members — if President Biden refused to play ball.

On Thursday, Pelosi became the first person who has been implicated in the plot to speak publicly about it.

“I love him so much. I think he’s been a really a fantastic president of the United States. So I really wanted him to make a decision of a better campaign. Because they were not facing the fact of what was happening,” Pelosi told the New Yorker. “Just a little background. I’ve never been that impressed with his political operation.”

When asked to clarify, she confirmed that she was talking about President Biden’s political operation. “Yeah, I’m not. I mean, I just haven’t. They won the White House, bravo,” Pelosi said.

“But so my concern was this ain’t happening and we have to make a decision for this to happen and the president has to make the decision for that to happen. Let me just say, I won’t say necessarily I knew what I was doing at that time. I knew what I was doing in the whole thing, not just that ship,” the former House speaker went on to say.

“And what was that?” the interviewer followed up, to which Pelosi responded with, “That Donald Trump would never set foot in the White House again.”

The shocking revelation comes as details continue to emerge surrounding the shadowy plot to oust President Biden. Obama, Schumer, Pelosi and others has hoped to hold a “mini primary” at the Democratic National Convention later this month, at which point the party would decide on a new nominee.

Obama was “furious” when Biden opted to endorse Vice President Harris, according to a report from the New York Post citing a high-profile Democratic Party source.

“Obama knows she’s just incompetent — the border czar who never visited the border, saying that all migrants should have health insurance. She cannot navigate the landmines that are ahead of her,” the source said. “When you are running for president there are things you can and can’t say.

A debate between Trump and Harris — which is now scheduled for September — is a point of worry for Obama. “Wait until the debate… She can’t debate. She’s going to put her foot in her mouth about Israel, Palestine, Ukraine. She’s going to say something really stupid,” the source said.

The source further revealed that Obama was keen on Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) and had hoped to endorse him ahead of the Democratic National Convention.

According to the source, Obama was caught off guard by Biden’s decision to endorse Harris roughly 15 minutes after announcing he would not be seeking re-election. Biden’s initial statement did not mention Harris, leaving Obama “furious” when he opted to back her candidacy.

“Obama is ‘furious,’ things haven’t gone his way, which is why he is not joining in the Democratic Party’s support of Harris,” the insider added.

A noticeably flustered Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Tuesday struggled to deliver a coherent answer about her involvement in pushing President Joe Biden out of the presidential race, leaving some viewers concerned about her well-being.

In the run-up to Biden’s exit last month, insiders remarked on the former House speaker’s deep involvement with mobilizing leaders in the Democratic Party against Biden, laying out poll results showing that a loss to former President Donald Trump was all but inevitable. Asked how Vice President Kamala Harris would be a better nominee, Pelosi delivered a winding, stuttering answer that appeared to touch on assault rifles, COVID shots, and “chips and science” all without bringing home much of a point.

(VOTE: Are You Supporting TRUMP Or KAMALA In November?)

“Whether it’s well the first bill… the first bill… that protect, our, uh, uh…” she said, pointing to her shoulder. “Assault, uh, bill, uh,” prompting the host to find the word for her, replying “Covid.” That seems to reset Pelosi who continued, “Shots in the arm, money in the pockets, children in school, people that work, the infrastructure bill, building, building in a way that is respectful of communities, pe-… chips and science.”

WATCH:

Pelosi, 84, is three years older than President Biden, who faced calls to end his campaign after a soporific debate performance against President Trump that reinforced anxiety among allies about his age. Following the 2022 elections, the powerful California Democrat announced she would be stepping back from the party’s House leadership, though she remains an influential force in the 2024 cycle. She, along with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), House Speaker Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), and former President Barack Obama are all believed to have encouraged Biden to step aside, putting Harris on a glide path to the Democratic Party’s nomination earlier this week.

Her resignation from party leadership came a month after a man broke into her San Francisco home and attacked her husband with a hammer while he slept. Paul Pelosi was admitted to a hospital with severe head injuries following the attack by a conspiracy theorist who was later sentenced to 30 years in prison. Alexandria Pelosi, the couple’s daughter and a documentary filmmaker, said the brush with death was a wake-up call for her mother about the importance of family. “Was this all worth it? For my family? What we went through?” she said of her mother’s 35 years in the House, Forbes reported at the time. “My parents would say yes . . . But for the family, the families are the ones that pay the highest price for this kind of life.”

Despite the sympathy Pelosi and her husband received afterward, she remains one of the most polarizing politicians in recent history. Republicans continue to pillory vulnerable Democrats who are tied to Pelosi but distancing themselves from an unpopular Biden administration this year. Case in point: Rep. Mary Peltola (D-AK) of Alaska, who recently earned a rare endorsement from the National Rifle Association and touts her opposition to parts of the president’s agenda, including Second Amendment protections and opposition to a federal assault weapons ban.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said that President Biden is worthy of being added to Mt. Rushmore during this Sunday’s installment of “CBS Sunday Morning.”

Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), former President Barack Obama and other Democrat leaders spearheaded an effort to get President Biden to end his re-election bid last month. High profile Democratic Party sources have reported that Pelosi and others were in favor of using the 25th Amendment, under which the president can be forced to resign if deemed mentally incapable by his cabinet.

The former House speaker told a radically different story on Sunday.

(ALERT: Biden’s New Executive Order Will Crush The US Dollar For Good)

“Please tell us what you told President Biden to persuade him to step aside,” asked CBS host Lesley Stahl.

“Well, I have never shared any conversations with a President of the United States publicly, so no,” Pelosi responded.

Stahl followed up by citing reports on Pelosi’s involvement in the pressure campaign.

“I wasn’t the leader of any pressure. Let me say things I didn’t do. I didn’t call one person. I did not call one person. I could always say to him, I never called anybody. What I’m saying is I had confidence that the president would make the proper choice for our country, whatever that would be, and I said that. Whatever that is, we’ll go with,” Pelosi said.

“He was in a good place to make whatever decision, top of his game. Such a consequential President of the United States., a Mount Rushmore kind of President of the United States,” she added.

Stahl then asked her to clarify whether President Biden belongs on Mt. Rushmore with Abraham Lincoln and George Washington.

“You got Teddy Roosevelt up there and he is wonderful. I don’t say take him down, but you could add Biden,” Pelosi replied.

Former President Barack Obama is wading into the 2024 presidential contest less than a week after President Joe Biden ended his campaign and turned over the top of the ticket to his vice president, Kamala Harris.

The veep and first Black female to lead a major party ticket is seeing a “honeymoon” in the polls as she tightens the race against former President Donald Trump and coalesces major Democratic Party figures behind her candidacy. So far, no challenger has stepped forward, putting Harris on a glide path to a formal nomination at the party’s convention in Chicago next month. Obama, who for days left open the possibility that he would support a “blitz primary” that saw uncommitted delegates swayed by multiple candidates, appears to have closed that door.

(VOTE: Are You Supporting TRUMP Or KAMALA In November?)

The 44th president on Friday signaled his support for Harris’s insurgent candidacy, releasing a joint statement with former First Lady Michelle Obama saying the former prosecutor would be a “fantastic” successor to Biden. “Earlier this week, Michelle and I called our friend @KamalaHarris. We told her we think she’ll make a fantastic President of the United States, and that she has our full support. At this critical moment for our country, we’re going to do everything we can to make sure she wins in November. We hope you’ll join us,” President Obama said on X. He accompanied the post with a behind-the-scenes video of Harris receiving a call from him announcing the news.

WATCH:

National polls since Biden’s exit continue to show that Trump maintains a lead over Harris and even larger leads in some of the most hotly contested battleground states of the 2024 cycle. However, the switchover has disrupted Republicans’ line of attack which for months had been honed to harness the weakness of Biden’s economy and foreign policy chops as well as growing evidence of his physical and mental decline in office. Harris has scrambled that strategy, Politico reported, as Republicans test messages about Harris’s failures as a border czar, tough-on-crime prosecutor as the former attorney general of California, and her penchant for making “weird” or uninformed statements about coconut trees and “fancy” artificial intelligence.

Support from the Obamas comes after other major Democrats have fallen in line behind the vice president. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), who some say was the most vociferous in forcing President Biden out of the race, endorsed Harris on Wednesday and was quickly followed by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY). In addition, she has notched nods from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and essentially all Democrats who have spoken out — with the exception of a few contrarians including Congressmen Dan Golden (D-NY) and “Squad” member Rashida Tlaib (D-MN). Sen. John Tester (D-MT), the most vulnerable incumbent of the 2024 cycle, has issued similarly vague statements about supporting Harris, who remains a deeply unpopular figure among the American electorate.

Democrats in conversations with the upper echelon of White House leadership believe President Joe Biden is readying an announcement that he will no longer seek reelection.

The report by Axios states that a decision by the embattled president may come as soon as this weekend, according to insiders who asked for confidentiality to discuss private conversations. Co-founders Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen, titans of the Washington, D.C. political class with extensive contacts, wrote that growing pressure from top Democrats including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) might finally have become too great to brush aside.

The imminent about-face will likely be made not long after Biden recovers from a bout of Covid. He remains in isolation and without a public schedule, forcing him to be alone with his thoughts as he contemplates just how badly Election Day could go for his party if he refuses to step aside. Even former President Barack Obama, one of Biden’s closest allies, isn’t stopping former advisors like David Axelrod or liberal celebrity George Clooney from openly calling on Biden to drop out.

From Axios:

The private message, distilled to its bluntest form: The top leaders of his party, his friends and key donors believe he can’t win, can’t change public perceptions of his age and acuity, and can’t deliver congressional majorities.

The president is being told that if he stays in, former President Trump could win in a landslide and wipe away Biden’s legacy and Democrats’ hopes in November.

Pelosi, on Thursday, declined to rebut a report that she directly warned Biden that his obstinance would cost Democrats a chance to take back the House. “The speaker does not want to call on him to resign [as the Democratic nominee], but she will do everything in her power to make sure it happens,” one Pelosi ally told Politico Playbook.

“There’s nothing subtle about Nancy,” another Pelosi ally told Playbook. “She starts with the question: ‘What’s it take to win?’ Then works backwards.”

Similar ominous warnings were delivered by Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), according to ABC News. Both declined to discuss their conversations with the president. Biden campaign co-chair Jeffrey Katzenberg bluntly told the president that donors’ patience is wearing thin and wallets are beginning to close up for good, Semafor reported.

The pressure campaign has reached intolerable levels after Democrats said they fully expect post-shooting polls to show that sympathy for President Trump has been converted into a sizable lead. On Thursday that prediction was proven out: Emerson College released results of the first poll since Saturday’s assassination attempt which showed that Trump leads Biden by 6% nationally and by a margin of up to 10% in swing states he lost four years ago.
