Pelosi demanded Donal Trump's removal from office

The coronavirus was at this time dispersing globally and eventually turning into a pandemic. Businesses and schools started to close in March 2020 as American mortality started to rise, and the economy soon experienced a collapse on par with the Great Depression. The largest stimulus program in American history, a $2 trillion relief package, was passed that month with Pelosi's assistance. She blamed the president for how the pandemic had been handled by the government as it spread throughout the nation, even going so far as to refer to it as the "Trump virus."

Democratic presidential candidate Biden defeated Trump in the 2020 election, while the party kept its narrow House majority. In 2021, Pelosi was chosen to serve as a speaker for another term. Trump disputed the results of the presidential election at this time, even though there was no proof to back up his claims. On January 6, 2021, as Congress was approving Biden's triumph, his supporters invaded the Capitol. Trump was called out for allegedly inciting the attack, and Pelosi called for his impeachment. To do that, she orchestrated the adoption of a House resolution that requested Vice President Mike Pence will use the 25th Amendment. Trump was accused by Pelosi of "incitement of insurrection" after she initiated impeachment procedures after he refused. A week before Trump's term was set to expire, on January 13, 2021, the House decided to remove him from office. The Senate later exonerated him, though.
