Pelosi Leaving Congress, Plans to Push Gavin Newsom White House Bid; ‘She's a Gavin fan-girl’ |
Axios reports: Nancy Pelosi is retiring from Congress, but she has more campaigns in mind. Among them: Boost Gavin Newsom as a potential contender for the White House in 2028. Why it matters: Publicly and privately, the former speaker has been touting the California governor, a fellow San Franciscan she’s helped mentor for decades. Pelosi has one of the strongest donor networks in Democratic politics. She’s been a key validator for Newsom as he’s emerged on the national stage and become one of President Trump’s most visible foes. “She’s a Gavin fan-girl and she doesn’t crush on many people,” one former Pelosi aide said. “I will say this: She’s hardly ever wrong. When she says she sees something, it’s a real thing.” Former Pelosi aides told Axios the former speaker was always eager to publicly vouch for Newsom whenever asked, and that she’s privately expressed admiration for how he has navigated Trump with a combination of defiance and charm(Axios). Not sure about the charm part there. |
