Given the accelerating speed of criminal revelations about the Thief-in-Chief, she may be President Pelosi before 2022:
My story: Pelosi strikes deal with rebels, will step aside by 2022 to win speaker votes

fwiw she'll be 82 years old in 2022, and will have been Dem leader for *20* years. The big ask from rebels might be something Pelosi was ready to give anyway… https://t.co/AR2oXv3zSq

Rep. Pelosi has nothing left to prove:
Nancy Pelosi called it the "Trump Shutdown," and the man whose whole career has consisted of slapping his name on stuff couldn't resist so he insisted that, hell yeah, this shutdown will be all his.

Prominent Republican once again jams own foot well down throat:
Gosh, why do you think Nancy wanted the press out of the room? Why didn’t she want the American People to hear this discussion? https://t.co/LFwEesyo7e

Colby Itkowitz, at the Washington Post, “While Trump mansplained, Pelosi illustrated her case for a ‘woman at the table’”:
Over 10 minutes of a surreal public sparring match in the Oval Office, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi tried mightily to rise above the bluster and ego that erupted between the men in the room.
But Pelosi (D-Calif.) instead had to listen as President Trump mansplained to her the legislative process and her role in the debate, while Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer talked over her to trade barbs mano a mano with Trump…
Inside the Oval Office, the spectacle that played out in real time offered a window into the gender dynamics at play as the country’s most powerful woman navigates a male-dominated government that is now helmed by the ultimate alpha male. In her bid to be speaker again, Pelosi has argued the importance of having a woman at the “decision-making table” in Trump’s Washington. And Tuesday’s show helped make her point…
Pelosi kept her composure throughout the charade, continually trying to bring the conversation back to a place where actual dialogue could occur. But it was clear from the press presence that Trump had very little interest in finding a compromise and primarily wanted to show off his bravado for the cameras…
Haha, @NancyPelosi on why the Trump meeting was private: "We didn't want to say, in front of those people, 'You don't know what you're talking about'." pic.twitter.com/O76QVDHm0W
