Nancy Pelosi is leaving Capitol Hill. Her team is still calling shots.
Nancy Pelosi may be leaving Congress, but about 50 of her longtime staffers remain on Capitol Hill in leadership positions. These aides are said to possess a strategic ethos that could allow Pelosi's influence to continue within the House Democratic Caucus. Their presence suggests that institutional knowledge remains powerful, even as elected officials change.
