Democratic kingmaker Nancy Pelosi has come to be pegged as the chief force behind President Joe Biden\u2019s decision to step down from his reelection campaign \u2014 a claim that she refuses to dignify much. <\/p>\n
While Pelosi no longer wields the Speaker\u2019s gavel, its absence hasn\u2019t done much to stifle her power within the party. She\u2019s not only the first female Speaker of the House but also one of the most talented political tacticians of her generation. <\/p>\n
POLITICO\u2019s senior political columnist and politics bureau chief Jonathan Martin sat down with the Speaker Emerita at the CNN-POLITICO Grill on the last day of the Democratic National Convention. <\/p>\n
JMart and Pelosi covered what state Pelosi believes to be key to retaking the House; how a President Kamala Harris would need to govern; that time when party transcended heritage in her snub of a New York Republican; her relationship with successor Hakeem Jeffries and what she really thinks of that DIY pin of her image that floated around the convention. <\/p>\n
