SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA: Democratic Rep Nancy Pelosi did not hold back in criticizing President Donald Trump, calling him a "vile creature" and the "worst thing on the face of the earth."

During a recent interview on CNN’s 'The Story Is with Elex Michaelson,' Pelosi said that Trump "does not honor the Constitution" and has "turned the Supreme Court into a rogue court."

During the interview, which is expected to air on Tuesday, November 4, interviewer Elex Michaelson discussed Proposition 50 in California and said, "They're framing this whole thing as a way to push back against President Trump, someone she's clearly not a huge fan of."

Pelosi responded, "He's just a vile creature. The worst thing on the face of the earth, but anyway."

Michaelson asked, "You think he's the worst thing on the face of the earth?" to which Pelosi replied, "I do, yeah, I do."

The CNN anchor then asked why she felt that way, and Pelosi said, "Because he's the President of the United States and he does not honor the Constitution of the United States."

"In fact, he's turned the Supreme Court into a rogue court. He's abolished the House of Representatives. He's chilled the press. He's chilled the press. He's scared people who are in our country legally," she added.

Nancy Pelosi focuses on redistricting amid renewed feud with Trump

Nancy Pelosi and Donald Trump have exchanged jabs multiple times over the years.

In 2025, Trump took to social media to criticize Pelosi after she called him "dangerous" and "evil" following his remarks about the January 6, 2021, attacks.



Earlier on Monday, November 3, NBC News reported that several California and House Democrats believe Pelosi, 85, will not seek reelection.

Ian Krager, Pelosi’s communications director, wrote on X later in the day that his boss is "fully focused" on the California redistricting proposition, which will appear on the ballot in the Tuesday, November 4 elections in the Golden State.



When asked about her 2026 plans on Monday, Pelosi deflected, saying her focus is on the redistricting initiative and ensuring Democrats win back the House "to protect us from the poison of the Trump administration."

Proposition 50, if passed, would transfer control of California’s redistricting process from an independent commission to the state Legislature.

Pelosi, along with California Governor Gavin Newsom, former President Barack Obama, and other prominent Democrats, has endorsed the proposal. The measure was added to the ballot after the GOP-led Texas Legislature redrew its congressional map mid-decade.

Several challengers, including state Senator Scott Wiener and Saikat Chakrabarti, a former chief of staff to Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, have entered the Democratic primary in Pelosi’s district.

Meanwhile, Pelosi told CNN that if she runs for a 20th full term in Congress, she has "no doubt" she would win.
