A group of Democrats, including within President Biden’s orbit and the DNC, remain bitterly upset with Nancy Pelosi “over her public pressure campaign to push Biden out. Some have privately pledged to find ways to diminish Pelosi’s influence in the party after the November election,” the The Washington Post reports.
Jonathan Chait: “There are several odd and deeply inadvisable aspects to this revenge plot. The first is that we now have enough evidence to conclude that replacing Biden with Kamala Harris was absolutely correct…”
“Second, Pelosi is powerful, famously so. She was more powerful than Biden’s loyalists before he quit the race. (That’s one reason why he quit). With Biden out, the gap in power is vastly larger… If she can singlehandedly take out the president of the United States, she can probably handle you.”
