Jill Biden is still hurt by Nancy Pelosi’s vote of no confidence in her husband’s reelection. “I’ve been thinking a lot about relationships,” the first lady said in an interview with The Washington Post published Wednesday. “It’s been on my mind a lot lately, and we were friends for 50 years,” she said of Pelosi. “It was disappointing.”
