Even though Nancy Pelosi no longer holds the Speaker’s gavel, her power within the Democratic party remains strong. As the first female Speaker of the House and a skilled political tactician, Pelosi continues to play a significant role in shaping party decisions.
During an interview with POLITICO’s senior political columnist Jonathan Martin at the CNN-POLITICO Grill on the final day of the Democratic National Convention, Pelosi discussed various topics. These included her perspective on regaining control of the House, the potential governance style of a President Kamala Harris, a notable instance where party loyalty trumped heritage in her interactions with a New York Republican, her relationship with successor Hakeem Jeffries, and her thoughts on a DIY pin featuring her image that circulated at the convention.
