She wanted to wait until after the election when presumably Joe Biden would be declared the winner of the presidential race.
The stunning admission was made during her weekly press briefing with reporters this morning where questions were asked about the status of the Wuhan virus relief bill including on how soon she felt both sides could come to an agreement on the particulars.
Prior to the election, Pelosi and other Democratic leaders in the House balked at the Senate’s smaller bill and demanded much more. Now she says she’s open to a scaled-down bill in the interests of getting something passed soon (bolded emphasis added):
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said during a press conference Friday that she’d be willing to support a smaller coronavirus relief package, citing President-elect Joe Biden’s win and COVID-19 vaccine progress.
[…]
The package is smaller than the relief bill Democrats have previously pushed for — leading Pelosi to address why she supports the legislation.
Pelosi said that Biden’s win and the development of coronavirus vaccines is “a total game-changer” during her weekly press conference.
“It’s what we had on our bills. It’s for a shorter period of time but that’s OK now because we have a new president,” she said. “A president that recognizes that we need to depend on science to stop the virus.”
Watch Pelosi snap at the reporter who asked her why the sudden change on wanting to agree on a relief package:

In another contentious exchange between a reporter and Pelosi during the presser, the House Speaker admitted it was her decision to delay an agreement on the bill and that she was not ashamed of the decision:
Pelosi: "That was not a mistake; that was a decision that has taken us to a place where we can do the right things without should we say 'other considerations' in the legislation that we don't want … I'm very proud of where we are." Says she's proud of the work of her chairs

The condemnations on Twitter were fast and furious for obvious reasons (as I write this, “Pelosi” is trending on the social media platform):
Pelosi is who we always thought she was.
She let Americans suffer for months without relief to win an election. https://t.co/7toLECsKLs

Millions of people lost their jobs and were plunged into poverty and Nancy Pelosi refused to do anything about it for months because she wanted to win an election https://t.co/fvmUpGeil7

Nancy Pelosi's arrogance is absolutely stunning.
Trump offered a stand alone bill to send direct checks to Americans, he could have pushed the Senate to vote for it, and Pelosi stood in the way.
Millions of Americans are heading towards poverty and she's "proud of her work" https://t.co/HpTs0K6MN9

Pelosi finally admits what I’ve been tweeting since May.
This gives me Pelosi’s “we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it” vibes. She’s the worst & has been for a long time. pic.twitter.com/0N1gKVmfzb

Prior to the election, President Trump made it a point often to note that Pelosi, Schumer, Biden, and the rest of the Democrats were using the virus and various relief packages to undermine his presidency and defeat him on Election Day. Reporters would in turn scoff at the claims, reacting in outrage at such a heinous accusation.
As it turns out, Trump probably had no idea just how on the mark he actually was. Unfortunately, this illuminating concession from Pelosi will blow over in a few days courtesy of the same media who relentlessly accused Trump for months of being ok with hundreds of thousands of Americans dying if it meant getting the economy on track.
How many Americans lost their jobs and homes because of what she did? How many starved, committed suicide? These are questions that will never get asked of her, because the reasons why they’d be asked would show the left’s true motivations for the shutdowns, the stall tactics, all of it:
To defeat Trump – literally by any means necessary.

Pelosi represents a despotic evil we have not seen in leadership to that degree before in this country.
And how many folks will regret voting for Biden and other Dems now that Nanzie has told the truth behind her not agreeing for the 2nd bailout....POLITICS
The media won’t report this, therefore, the only people who care are the ones that don’t like her to begin with.
Very handy having all of the media do your bidding. No wonder she carries herself as if she were queen.
It’s not about politics.
It’s not about politics.
It’s not about politics.
It’s not about politics.
It’s about politics.
She told us she doesn’t “hate anyone” ...
America will try to stop the steal “but we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new dark age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science.”
Not sure if your comment will withstand the scrutiny of the more easily offended among us, but you are absolutely correct sir.
Yet she wins re-election once again. The idiots in CA and NY never connect the dots and will continue to elect those who would keep them in bondage for as long as possible
Gosh.
Nancy Pelosi is a Democrat instead of an American.
Who Knew?
Well I guess that means Nancy is responsible for 250,000 deaths from COVID-19.
She is disgusting and we all knew she was blocking money because of her hate for Trump. She let people and businesses suffer over that. Now she will give the credit for vaccine to biden and even herself I am sure. And give biden credit for the bill. And they continue to get away with it. Right in our faces.
The bowels of Hell cannot be made too hot for the homecoming of this Demonicrat... witch.
“..The bowels of Hell cannot be made too hot for the homecoming of this Demonicrat... witch....”
From your keyboard to Satan’s ears.
We don’t call it the “godless, vile, demonic Botoxian” around these parts just to be funny. Demon possession is very real.
It needs to be sent packing back to its Big Daddy in hell...hopefully, the Reaper will see fit to do it soon.
Stunning admission? Admitting her actions are totally political? Yea, stunner.
This is why people in countries with corrupt governments kill their leaders...
No one seems to be asking the question of why the MSM is picking on Pelosi in the first place. The answer, I think, is that the enemy believes it has the election in the bag, and now it’s time to get rid of the Old Guard and replace them with the Woke Guard. Pelosi goes first, Schumer second, Biden third. Of course a reelected Trump will mess up their plans, but that’s a separate issue.
You mean like that corrupt country that just had a Presidential election and there was massive fraud and nobody in government did anything about it?
She wanted to wait until after the election when presumably Joe Biden would be declared the winner of the presidential race ... Pelosi said ... she’d be willing to support a smaller coronavirus relief package, citing President-elect Joe Biden’s win ... "It's ... OK now because we have a new president," she said.
So, once again, the Democrats prove my oft-stated point which is: During a Presidential election year, all Democrats (extreme far-left, moderate, and establishment) are totally 100% unified, unlike the disjointed, disorganized, in-fighting Republicans. After election day, the unified Democrats then open up their Party curtain and feel free to publicly criticize their fellow Democrats and loosen their disciplined tactics.
Typical Examples:
Democrats are extremely disciplined and totally unified during Presidential election campaigns. Republicans, not so much.
