US EditionEx-Pelosi adviser rips Democrats "squandering" opportunities against Trump
- Ashley Etienne, former adviser to Nancy Pelosi, criticized House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries' handling of Donald Trump in a Politico podcast released on May 2, 2025.
- Etienne's critique followed divisions within the Democratic Party after Trump won the 2024 presidential election and ongoing disagreements on how to confront him before the 2026 midterms.
- She argued Democrats are wasting a rare opportunity provided by Trump's actions and faulted Jeffries for delays and lack of coordination despite some messaging successes like Cory Booker's filibuster.
- Etienne argued that Jeffries struggles with decision-making because he seeks excessive input and delays action, while also noting that the focus should remain on Trump rather than letting the opportunity slip away.
- The rebuke highlights intraparty tensions that could distract from Trump's declining approval and Republican challenges, while Jeffries' allies deny the criticism and urge party unity.
