    Both have stepped down from power.

    Nancy Pelosi files paperwork to run again — but plans remain vague

    …and what about the news Pelosi was trying to kill AOC’s chances in committee and the DNC immediately pushed back to protect Pelosi’s fee wees? She would never do such a thing such as… that thing she has done her entire fucking career. Pretending Pelosi hasn’t done this kind of thing before and certainly isn’t doing it now is a joke. Being a power broker in the party is literally the story of her career.

    Finally, stepping down from power should have been done when she was retirement age, which based on her age bracket would be pegged at 66. She’s 16 years past the reasonable expiration date of stepping down from a position of power.

      DPelosi is not the caucus leader anymore. She doesn’t speak for the caucus, deal with Republicans, etc. She still has political power within the caucus. There’s a difference.
