Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is reportedly taking a less active role in the Democratic Party's internal races for top posts in the different committees. According to analyses of her colleagues reported by Axios, the approach gives Minority Leader Hakeen Jeffries space to settle into his role.
This means that one of her last actions in the area was helping prevent Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) get the top party post in the House Oversight Committee. AOC ended up losing against Rep. Gerry Connolly on Tuesday, and Pelosi reportedly made several calls and campaigned on his behalf.
