In a heartwarming gesture, Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Mich.) presented a candy basket to former House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) following the San Francisco 49ers’ loss in the NFC game.
What Happened: The gift was for Pelosi winning a friendly wager on the NFC Championship game (Lions, 49ers) from Dingell. The basket contained sweets from Sanders, a local chocolate shop in Detroit, reported The Hill on Thursday.
“Sanders always makes me feel better, especially after one of my teams loses a big game…Hope you enjoy these sweet, comforting treats @SpeakerPelosi! I know the Lions will be back with a vengeance next year,” Dingell shared on X, formerly Twitter.
Despite the loss, Pelosi, who represents California’s 11th District, showed her unwavering support for the 49ers. She attended the game in Las Vegas, dressed in Niners gear, and later praised the team’s performance on social media.
