Summary
Villainized by the right, protested from the left, Nancy Pelosi led the Democrats through the Iraq War, the fight for Obamacare, and two impeachments. As Congress resumes, she will step down from leading the House Democrats, leaving behind a complicated legacy—and a list of hard-fought accomplishments.
Guest: Rachael Bade, political analyst for CNN and the co-author of Politico’s “Playbook” newsletter.
