An MSNBC host who once served as an aide to President Biden took aim at Nancy Pelosi for engineering his “very public demise” in the final months of the 2024 election — paving the way for Vice President Kamala Harris to eventually lose the race to Donald Trump.
Symone Sanders-Townsend, who served as a senior adviser to Biden as well as a spokesperson for Harris before joining the Comcast-owned cable outlet in 2022, appeared on MSNBC’s “The Weekend” on Sunday for a panel discussion about the fallout from the election.
When analyzing where Democrats went wrong, Sanders-Townsend cited Pelosi by name, saying the former House speaker deserves to share some of the blame for Harris’ loss. Her comments were reported by Mediaite.
A fellow MSNBC panelist, Leah Daughtry, co-chair of the Democratic National Committee’s Rules Committee, noted during the discussion: “With all due respect, a lot of people on Capitol Hill, they don’t have the answers.”
Sanders-Townsend then chimed in: “I’m gonna say it if she ain’t gonna say it — Nancy Pelosi, everybody talks about how the speaker emerita, you know, she’s so strategic, she can count, she did all of that when she was the speaker in Congress, but my question is: Where is your calculator now?”
She added that Democrats were “about to lose the daggone House” — suggesting that Pelosi’s move to force Biden from the race led to what happened.
“She played in presidential politics this cycle, and she helped orchestrate the very public demise of the president,” Sanders-Townsend said.
She praised her former boss, Biden, saying: “And thank God for Joe Biden, that he came out and, yes, endorsed his VP. ‘Cause these people wanted an open primary!”

Biden was going to win like 5 states.
Pelosi, Obamas, Clintons, Schumer, Sanders all hung around too long and took the party down. Now the long knives are out,
Ya Joe comes with 15 million fake votes
Yeah, it’s not like Kamala could have done any worse than Joe... but she was also the worst alternate option they had.
She is “a master litigator.”
Aunt Nancy, IMO, had “nephew” Gavin’s presidential sugar plums dancing in her head.
They tried to manipulate the system to get the win and instead America said “F off”. And voted for a man they have tried to take down as well. They are so corrupt and I hope those at the top are TOPPLED “BIGLY”.
Biden would have lost bigger than Kamala! The demoncraps are star-staring insane!
The demoncraps are star-staring insane!
Let’s hope it stays that way for a long time.
Biden pushing for Harris painted them in a corner and put them in a position to have to support their DEI hire.
I’m pretty sure the top Rats are feeling MAGA toppled as we speak. Fervently hoping they fall much farther...
Jill would have voted for Biden. And maybe the guy he bought the Corvette from .
Other than that, not sure who else.
If Joe had quit when he said he would, they maybe could have chosen someone better through a primary process, but not clear to me that anyone plausible would have beaten Trump. Plus, getting rid of the black woman VP might have hurt their results with blacks and women even worse. They seem to me to be screwed. It’s a coalition party with no real message other than “spend money and give it to the members of our coalition” and that’s not really where the mood of the country is after going through that bout of inflation. Who do they have? D-bag from California who delivers no states they don’t have and comes across like a car salesman, the gay guy who is pretty smart but has a dang husband and the country is not ready for that, or the Jewish guy from PA, who may be the best bet, but again, is the Dem coalition ready for a Jewish moderate who supports Israel? Screwed.
Your right in that they _currently_ have no good candidates at this time. At all. Unfortunately, that won’t always be the case going forward.
Trump needs to give Vance on-the-job training (i.e., not just a ‘break glass in case of emergency’) stint as VP so that he’s fully ready in 2028. The elections have still been too close to risk seeing the Dems coming up with some bright new charismatic face (think Bill Clinton or Obama) who the sheeple would vote for just because of the persona.
At some point, someone on the Left is going to figure out that their messages don’t sell... so they will get somebody suitable to speak the middle ground loudly ... until after getting elected.
We’ll know this is happening when some Democrat starts speaking against his party and the media leaves him alone to continue the ruse.
