Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi was spotted by C-SPAN’s cameras Wednesday in a heated exchange with Democratic strategist Donna Brazile at Vice President Kamala Harris‘ concession address.
Pelosi and Brazile, who twice served as the acting chair of the Democratic National Committee, can be seen gesticulating as the camara hangs on them for several seconds.
Washington, D.C.’s Mayor Muriel Bowser stood between them, while Tom Perez, a former DNC chair, Labor Secretary and Biden White House official, hovered nearby.
The footage was shared on X by former Trump campaign official Steve Cortes.
‘Democrats in disarray: Nancy Pelosi is arguing with Donna Brazile at the Kamala Harris defeat speech,’ Cortes wrote.

A number of Trump-leaning X users floated that the two women were arguing about the role Pelosi played in pushing President Joe Biden out of the 2024 race.
Pelosi was among those in Democratic leadership to tell Biden that he needed to step aside after his disastrous late June debate against Trump.
After months of polls showing that voters were concerned about the 81-year-old’s age, it was on full display for 90 minutes in Atlanta, prompting a panic.
On July 21st, Biden announced he was dropping out of the race – endorsing Harris several hours later.
On Tuesday night, Harris got trounced by Trump – and could end up losing all seven battleground states.
She conceded the election to Trump in a speech Wednesday afternoon on Howard University’s quad, the same locale where she would have announced victory the night before.
A sadness hung in the air at Howard’s campus, as Harris supporters expressed to DailyMail.com that they were incredibly sad and came to hear her speak and be around other Democrats as a source of solace.

Additionally, the mood among Democratic Party officials was tense.
When DailyMail.com approached DNC Chair Jaime Harrison for comment, he shot back, ‘Not right now,’ as he swiftly walked away alongside Perez.
Brazile, however, denied that she and Pelosi were engaged in some kind of blame game.
‘Such stupidity,’ she wrote on X. ‘Speaker Pelosi and I were discussing all the outstanding house races to be called or the path to a “House Majority.”‘
‘Folks, this is the Trump era: lies, disinformation and gossip,’ she continued. ‘What happened to the USA?’
When DailyMail.com reached out to Pelosi’s spokesperson about the conversation, he shared Brazile’s tweet.
