A year after her speakership, Nancy Pelosi's influence remains strong
Among the many Democratic Party insiders who publicly or privately urged President Joe Biden to reconsider running for reelection, one played an outsized role: Nancy Pelosi.
Pelosi is 84 years old — older than Biden — and no longer in House leadership.
But her part in the pressure campaign that led to a change in the Democratic ticket shows: she is still very much a leader, and her political pull remains strong.

Kamala Harris is used to firsts. But can she be the first female president?
If Kamala Harris officially becomes the Democratic presidential nominee next month, she'll be the first woman of color to lead a major party's ticket.
Of course, that would not be her first, first.
Harris's entire career is a list of jobs that nobody who looks quite like her had held before, including California's attorney general, Senator, and Vice President of the United States.
Harris often stresses that while she may be a first, others paved the way.
Kamala Harris has had a career full of firsts – could she also be the first woman to become President of the United States?

Can Kamala Harris find her footing on immigration?
In just a matter of hours, a Kamala Harris for President campaign has gone from a far-flung possibility, to all but certain likelihood.
It puts the Vice President in a tricky spot. She's got to run on President Biden's achievements, while avoiding the more challenging aspects of his record.
Biden entrusted Harris with some of the most challenging parts of his portfolio, including voting rights, the rollback of reproductive rights and immigration.
Harris has struggled to find her footing on immigration. Early on, she faced criticism for having not visited the southern border.
As Republicans like Texas Governor Greg Abbott started bussing migrants to northern cities, the Vice President's mansion in Washington DC became a drop-off point.
Even though Kamala Harris isn't yet the official nominee, both voters and the republican party will force her to answer for the Biden administration's immigration policies in this year's election.
