I sit down with House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi for this special Next Question bonus episode. It’s an intimate, urgent conversation that leaves no issue off the table – from her thoughts on President Biden’s decision to end his campaign and what she believes Vice President Kamala Harris must do to win in November to the increasingly bitter divisions that threaten our democracy and the devastating rise in political violence that has affected her on a deeply personal level, they cover it all. We also discuss Speaker Pelosi’s new book, “The Art of Power,” which is a thoughtful reflection on some of her more consequential legislative decisions across a remarkable political career spanning four decades. As the country rights itself from the recent twists and turns of an unprecedented campaign season, this must-listen conversation gets to the heart of what’s at stake as we look to November.

    Wether people like it or not she has clearly been the most powerful person in politics the last 20 years.

    Nancy Pelosi is truly a national treasure treasure! I really appreciate how she refers to him as that other guy. I've started referring to him as 45 so i don't have to say his name either. Thanks for the great questions, Katie!

    What a remarkable career House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi has charted. I am always amazed by her energy and enthusiasm for her role in government even after 37 years of service. Although she has stepped aside to usher in a new generation of leadership, her mentorship continues, and I think she will always be a force for fairness, decency and devotion to the Constitution and all that it affords its citizens. I look forward to reading her new book and somewhere in the future reading her complete memoir.

    Thank you Nancy for standing up for Joe. I believe i see where Katie was coming from. But I believe it was a bit of a derogatory question. No-one was hiding Joe's abilities or lack there of. His decisions were proven daily, to be on the money. Yes , under a certain type of conditions, he was slow to...put out his meanings. But then the next day he showed a much better, demeanor and ability. 👍👏Joe Biden.
