Pelosi does not mention Trump by name, mentions Jan. 6

Former House Speaker Nancy did not mention Trump by name during her speech, including when addressing Jan. 6.

"Never before had a president of the United States so brazenly assaulted the bedrock of our democracy, so gleefully embraced political violence, so willfully betrayed his oath of office," she said.

"Let us not forget who assaulted democracy on Jan. 6. He did! But let us not forget who saved democracy that day. We did."

She said lawmakers returning to the Capitol that same night demonstrated that "American democracy prevailed" and called on voters now to "reject autocracy" and "choose democracy" by electing Harris and Walz.
