Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi may both be Democrats, but that doesn’t mean the two have always agreed.
A new Guardian report on a forthcoming book about “The Squad” from Ryan Grim, a reporter, offers further details on their relationship — including the generational gaps and strategic differences that shone through in phone calls and meetings between Pelosi and the New York Democrat over the last several years.
The book says Pelosi “spoke for nearly the entire lunch” when the two first met in San Francisco in July 2018, shortly after her upset primary victory against Rep. Joe Crowley.
