Nancy Pelosi just got dethroned by one Democrat who beat her at her own game

Nancy Pelosi just lost a title she held for years.

A fellow Democrat humiliated her in the most embarrassing way possible.

And Nancy Pelosi just got dethroned by one Democrat who beat her at her own game.

Long Island Democrat knocks Pelosi off her throne

Nancy Pelosi lost her unofficial title as "Queen of the Stocks" after a Long Island Congressman crushed her portfolio performance in 2025.

Representative Tom Suozzi (D-NY) raked in a jaw-dropping 35% return on his stock portfolio last year.

That easily beat Pelosi's 18% gain and demolished every major market index.

The Dow returned 14%, the S&P 500 gained 17%, and the Nasdaq climbed 21%.

Suozzi's windfall came mostly from his massive $8.2 million position in NVIDIA, which surged 40% in 2025.

He ended the year with a $9.5 million stock portfolio — a $2.5 million gain in just twelve months.

"Some members seemed to spend more time managing their portfolios than they did at their day job on Capitol Hill," Quiver Quantitative CEO Christopher Kardatzke told The New York Post.

Pelosi's 18% return marked a steep decline from the 54% she posted in 2024, when she beat every major hedge fund on Wall Street.

Her performance took a hit from a $12 million position in Salesforce, which dropped about 20% last year.

The dethroning came as Pelosi announced she's retiring from Congress at the end of her term in January 2027.

Suozzi's shady trading history raises eyebrows

Suozzi's impressive returns come with baggage that makes even Pelosi's controversial trading look tame.

The Long Island Democrat has faced multiple ethics complaints for his blatant disregard of stock disclosure rules.

Watchdog groups flagged Suozzi for failing to disclose as many as 300 trades worth up to $11 million from 2017 to 2020.

One stock purchase from September 2017 wasn't reported until March 2022 — nearly five years late.

The STOCK Act requires members of Congress to report trades within 45 days.

Suozzi shrugged off concerns about his ethics violations during a 2022 House Ethics Committee hearing.

"Quite frankly, we have a lot going on in Congress. I have a lot of other stuff going on," Suozzi told the committee.

"Ethics is a big priority for me. But the… some of the formalities are not necessarily something I make a priority of," he added.

That's quite an admission for someone who sits on the House subcommittees overseeing tax policy and government oversight.

Suozzi's Republican challenger Greg Hach mocked him as "the nation's first stock picking savant" while pointing out his net worth jumped from $2.2 million to $12.6 million during just nine years in Congress.

"Tom Suozzi got rich in Congress, while his constituents got poorer," Hach told The Post.

"If that doesn't say it all, nothing does," he added.

Suozzi's chief of staff claimed his boss supports legislation banning members of Congress from trading individual stocks.

That's the same excuse Pelosi used after years of defending congressional stock trading by saying "we are a free market economy."

President Trump called out Pelosi's suspicious trading record during his 2024 campaign, accusing her of using "inside information" to beat every hedge fund.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt pointed out Pelosi makes $174,000 a year but has a net worth of approximately $413 million.

"In 2024, Nancy Pelosi's stock portfolio grew 70% in one year," Leavitt told reporters in July 2025.

Now Pelosi can't even claim the title of Democrats' best stock trader anymore.

Suozzi dethroned the queen by playing the same game with even less regard for the rules.

Republicans are promising to bring legislation banning congressional stock trading to a vote in early 2026.

The question is whether Democrats like Suozzi and Pelosi will actually vote to end their gravy train.
