Nancy Pelosi is adamant she won’t release her grip on the Democratic Party despite their resounding defeat in 2024 and a growing chorus urging her to step down, sources tell The Post.
Ex-President Joe Biden named Pelosi one of the chief architects of the move to push him aside for Kamala Harris to run at short notice, and she was instrumental in the disastrous $1 billion campaign which followed – leading the party to lose the White House, Senate and House of Representatives.
Younger members of the party and even current House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries believe it’s time for a refresh and new leadership, according to sources, but Pelosi insists on business as usual.
“As long as Nancy takes a breath, she is going to do what she wants to do,” said Willie Brown, a former mayor of San Francisco who once dated former Vice President Harris.
