US Election 2024

Nancy Pelosi appears tearful at Harris concession event

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was visibly emotional as she waited to hear defeated candidate Vice President Harris make a concession speech on Wednesday. Pelosi arrived at Howard University in the afternoon and was photographed greeting Harris supporters with tears in her eyes.

In a poignant moment, Pelosi appeared on the verge of tears, with a pout on her face and watery eyes. Despite her emotions, other photos captured Pelosi smiling and engaging with attendees at the event.

Harris’ concession speech followed a closely contested presidential race that ultimately ended in a surprising victory for Trump early Wednesday morning. The outcome of the election, which was anticipated to be a close race, left both political parties stunned.

Pelosi and Trump have a long history of animosity towards each other, often exchanging public insults. During a recent speech in Michigan, Trump referred to Pelosi with a derogatory term, stopping short of saying it out loud.

In response, Pelosi has criticized Trump’s cognitive abilities, suggesting that he may not be fit to serve as president for a full term. The Trump campaign retaliated with insults directed at Pelosi, labeling her as a “decrepit washed-up corrupt politician.”

Despite initial plans for Harris to deliver her concession speech from Howard University on election night, those plans were changed. Pelosi, along with other attendees, eagerly awaited Harris’ address from the venue.

Fox News Digital reached out to Pelosi’s office for comment but did not receive an immediate response. The report was contributed to by Fox News Digital’s Alex Nitzberg.
