Pelosi Couldn't Help But Crack Up After She Was Asked If Trump Made A 'Mistake' Picking Vance

After CBS reporter Leslie Stahl asked the former House Speaker about Trump's vice presidential pick, Pelosi gave a shady response before breaking out in laughter.

After CBS reporter Leslie Stahl asked Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi for her thoughts about former President Donald Trump's running mate J.D. Vance during a recent CBS This Morning interview, Pelosi gave a shady response before breaking out in laughter.

Stahl asked:


"Did Donald Trump make a mistake when he chose J.D. Vance?"

Pelosi responded:

"I think it was a great choice."

Then she cracked up, which you can see in the video below.

Pelosi's response comes as Vance's favorability ratings plummet. According to FiveThirtyEight, only 31.8% of Americans view him favorably as of August 6, while 40.6% view him unfavorably.

This comes just about three weeks to the day since Vance was announced as Trump's running mate. It appears the more people get to know him, the less they like him.

Vance's decline has been fueled in part by various controversies, most notably his recent remarks about "childless cat ladies" and concerns about his positions on reproductive freedom, which include support for a nationwide abortion ban, which data shows is remarkably unpopular.

Pelosi's laughter said it all.


Adding to Vance's unpopularity, Republican strategist Susan Del Percio predicted over the weekend that Vance may attempt to "downplay" his involvement for the remainder of Trump's 2024 presidential campaign. Del Percio told MSNBC that Vance has "taken a few lumps on the head and will kind of downplay his role on the campaign."

Meanwhile, Anthony Scaramucci, who lasted 10 days as Trump's White House Communications Director before he was fired in 2017, claimed "Trump has to replace Vance to get back in the race."

Both of these statements reflect concerns that Vance is weighing down the GOP ticket, though Trump's team has insisted he is "thrilled" with his pick and has no intention to drop Vance altogether.

You can watch Pelosi'a full take down of Trump and Vance beginning at 6:20 in the video below:

Trump Ripped After Griping About 'Sissy' New NFL Kickoff Rule In Unhinged Rant

President Donald Trump was criticized after he complained about the NFL's new "Dynamic Kickoff" rule that is designed to make playing football safer, calling it "sissy" football in a Monday morning post on Truth Social.

Under the previous rules, kickoffs began at the kicking team’s 35-yard line, with the goal of sending the ball as far as possible to pin the opposing offense deep in its own territory. The receiving team would try to advance the ball, which would often lead to high-speed collisions as players sprinted directly at each other.

Political Commentator Epically Fact-Checks Vance's Baseless Claims About Political Violence

In the wake of far-right activist Charlie Kirk's assassination, Vice President JD Vance has stepped up his attacks on leftists, this time by baselessly claiming that the far-left is more likely to commit political violence than the far-right.

Vance hosted a special episode of Kirk's podcast to attack what he referred to as “the lunatics in American politics" and said without any evidence that the suspect in Kirk's killing was motivated by far-left ideology.
