Regardless of what Biden does or doesn’t do, what is with this Pelosi kingmaker bullshit, and why does she have so much standing and influence despite having retired?
She’s a top fundraiser in the party. She comes from a prominent district. She led the party through historic legislation. She knows what it’s like to step down from a position of power.
I don’t see why u’r getting downvoted. U just explained the power dynamics in the Democratic party. U didn’t say u liked Pelosi. Man ppl on Lemmy can rlly be heavy handed with the downvote button.
I mean she’s not dem leader anymore. I know she still represents CA as dean . I just find it strange I’ve seen so many articles mentioning her as though she’s still in charge.
Obama and Biden are really close friends. If he’s lost Obama’s confidence, that’s a really big deal that absolutely deserves media coverage. Also, Nancy Pelosi has a ton of clout in the Democratic party, that didn’t just disappear when she stepped down from leadership

Call to authority often a persuasive tool for headline readers.
Oh… uh… I thought she was still minority leader. Proving your point. Oops.
She retired as SOTH when Republicans took control after the 2022 midterms. Hakeem Jeffries is the House Minority Leader now.

She got stocks to trade and how is she supposed to do that without insider knowledge…
Do you take her for a pleb?
