Democratic infighting is rising as Trump takes center stage
Democrats are finding themselves mired in infighting and schoolyard sniping just as President Trump begins his new term.
Former first lady Jill Biden and Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) daughter have taken shots at each other amid sore feelings over the pressure campaign that led former President Biden to drop his White House reelection bid.

“Who the hell does he think he is?” one Harris aide told The Hill, recalling the sentiment around the Harris bubble about Biden’s comments. “We’re in this mess because of him.”
Biden’s last-minute pardons of his family members have sparked intraparty criticism.
And in Congress, Democrats are battling in the House and Senate over their strategies after their campaign messaging fell flat with the public. Centrists and liberals are pointing fingers on issues
