Rep. Nancy Pelosi publicly threw shade at Gov. Kathy Hochul this week, appearing to blame her for Democrats failing to hold onto their House majority in the 2022 midterms.

The former House speaker, during an interview at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, pointed to Hochul’s near-loss to former GOP Rep. Lee Zeldin for dragging down Dems in several competitive New York congressional races.

“I think it related to the gubernatorial race,” the California congresswoman said at a POLITICO forum Thursday, when asked “what happened last time in New York?”

Republicans flipped four House seats held by Democrats during the midterms — which followed a heated redistricting fight in which a map dubbed the “Hochulmander” was struck down by the state’s highest court.

The court then assigned an independent party to draw a new congressional district map, which has been credited in helping the GOP take back control of the House, booting Pelosi from her speaker post.

Asked about Pelosi’s comments in a TV interview Friday, Hochul replied, “I just don’t agree with that. That’s fine.”

“We are going to win this on the ground because I know how to do this,” Hochul continued on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

“I now have the chance to focus on this. I’m not a candidate myself this year, so I can laser focus on these races, the Hudson Valley, Syracuse, Central New York, all the way to the tip of Long Island. We’re going to win these races and win strong,” she said.

Pelosi’s remarks come as Hochul has seemingly been trying to rehabilitate her political reputation and ensure she doesn’t preside over a repeat of the 2022 House losses.

Hochul has raised millions of dollars for the state party since 2022 and is pushing a $5 million statewide effort to share resources between campaigns at different levels and recruit staff on the ground.

In a memo released last month, New York Democrats said they’d hired over 80 people and opened 35 field offices around the state.

Critics have also said that Hochul had her eye on House races when she indefinitely paused the implementation of the unpopular $15 congestion pricing toll on cars entering lower Manhattan. She has vehemently denied that political motivations were behind her decision, citing inflation and cost-of-living concerns brought up to her at diners by constituents.

Hochul has since said that she will release a plan — likely to come after the November elections — to address the $16.5 billion in lost revenue for the MTA. That plan could include restarting the toll at a lower price point.

Pelosi’s remarks weren’t the first time the powerful longtime pol has bashed Hochul over Dems’ performance two years ago.

Earlier this year, Pelosi was caught on tape telling battleground Hudson Valley Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) that he had Hochul to thank for his upset 2022 victory against former Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney.

“I think it’s clear that Democrats in both Washington and New York think Kathy Hochul is feckless and inept,” Lawler told The Post Friday.

“Pelosi said publicly what Democrats say privately and know to be true.”

The Hudson Valley rep and former state assemblyman called out Hochul’s cringey speech at the DNC, where she riffed on the state motto of “ever upward,” saying President Trump would take the country “ever downward.”

“She’s driving the state ever downward and it’s such an embarrassment,” Lawler said.

Hochul’s approval ratings are hovering at their lowest levels ever, even dragging behind President Biden’s numbers as he was facing pressure to abandon his reelection bid.

The Buffalo pol moved up from lieutenant governor after Gov. Andrew Cuomo stepped down while facing a slew of sexual misconduct allegations, which he denies.

In her 2020 matchup against Zeldin, the Republican had the best showing of any GOP candidate for governor since 2002, winning nearly 47% of the vote in deep blue New York. “The best thing Kathy Hochul can do to help vulnerable Democrats in battleground House races is to stay as far away from their districts and those candidates as possible. She has only become more unpopular and less favorable since 2022,” Zeldin told the Post Friday.

“Hochul is the accidental Governor who causes purposeful disaster every day on the job,” he added.

Though Republicans didn’t have the “Red Wave” they were hoping for nationwide, GOP candidates carried all five races that Cook Political Report had rated as toss ups.

After months of court fights, the state legislature ultimately settled on the current district maps, which don’t deviate much from those drawn by the independent redistricting expert. Republicans gave tacit approval, not challenging the constitutionality of the current lines.

Hochul won a special election to the House in 2011, while Pelosi was the minority leader, and framed herself as a moderate, breaking with Democrats on a few occasions.
