WASHINGTON — "Now we're going to have some fun," Rep. Nancy Pelosi says enthusiastically, winning a giggle from her daughter.
It's a little past 6:30 p.m. on a recent Thursday. The former House speaker is sitting in a packed black SUV with a reporter on her left, a driver and a member of her security detail in the front, and her daughter Christine and two top congressional aides squeezed into the backseat.
The group is en route from the Swedish Embassy, where Pelosi was the keynote speaker at an event supporting Ukraine, to the St. Regis Hotel for "Thank You, Madam Speaker," a reception celebrating her legacy.
