Nancy Pelosi's 'The Art of Power' Highlights Pragmatism and China Policy as Congress Returns in September

Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi is gaining attention as Congress reconvenes in September, with her memoir, 'The Art of Power,' highlighting her insights on China policy and her role as a political operator. The memoir has sparked discussions about her pragmatic approach and the importance of building political power in today's climate. Pelosi's reflections resonate with younger politicians like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who emphasizes the need for effectiveness alongside moral correctness in political activism. Ocasio-Cortez's perspective underscores a broader call for progressives to focus on winning and building community power rather than merely expressing outrage online. This sentiment is echoed by other political figures, who stress the necessity of being both right and effective in pursuing just causes.
