Former White House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is reportedly a “fan” of Gavin Newsom and her goal is to get him into the White House.The 85-year-old, who is completing her last term before leaving office this year, believes the California governor will make a “great president,” Axios reported.“She’s a fan of Gavin, and she doesn’t fall for a lot of people,” said a former Pelosi aide. “I will say this: She was almost never wrong. When she said she saw something, it was true.”Pelosi, who served in Congress for nearly 40 years, has never shied away from publicly or privately supporting Newsom, who is considering a 2028 presidential bid, according to former aides.“I’ve seen him grow politically. I’ve also seen him have a wonderful family, and it’s been wonderful for all of us who love him to see his progress,” Pelosi previously told Vogue.According to reports, Pelosi will no longer exercise leadership of the House of Representatives for the first time in the presidential election cycle, allowing her to choose her favorite candidate even before the primary.Newsom has steadily raised his domestic and international profile, including speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, attending the Munich Security Conference and writing a memoir to be released later this month.Pelosi, who is from San Francisco, and Newsom are also related. Pelosi’s brother-in-law was briefly married to Newsom’s aunt.
