Pelosi's Legacy and Political Influence

Senior political reporter and co-host of “The Campaign Moment” Aaron Blake talks with Marianna Sotomayor, a congressional reporter for The Post who has covered Pelosi for years. They walk through the strings Pelosi reportedly pulled to get Biden to withdraw, earning her the nickname “The Godmother” – after the mafia movie “The Godfather” – from some Democratic delegates at the convention. They also run down her appearances around the convention and why some Biden allies may seek revenge. 

Today’s show was produced by Ariel Plotnick with help from Laura Benshoff. It was edited by Lucy Perkins and Mary Jo Murphy. It was mixed by Sam Bair.
