The former House speaker is promoting a new book detailing her consequential dealmaking in Congress. But she's circumspect about her role in Biden's decision to quit the 2024 election.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s new book about major events of her two decades as House speaker or Democratic leader is titled “The Art of Power” — an unintended, she insisted to me, echo of Donald Trump’s “The Art of the Deal.” She writes of the actual, consequential deals she helped deliver, like the Affordable Care Act and rescue packages after the global financial crash, and of the deals that Trump failed to make on infrastructure and so much more.
And she adamantly denies reports that on a call with Biden she demanded that he put a top advisor on the phone when the president said his staff had more encouraging polling data. Pelosi does acknowledge she spoke to Biden: “I was really asking for a better campaign. We did not have a campaign that was on a path to victory.” She wouldn’t take Biden’s public no for his final decision, she told us.
