House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday suggested that she will still be the most powerful elected woman in U.S. politics even if California Sen. Kamala Harris is elected vice president in November. Although Pelosi lauded her as a "personification of the American dream" and "a great guardian of our Constitution," she implied that Harris, 55, may not wield much power as vice president.

In 2019, Harris came to the defense of Pelosi after New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez accused the speaker of the "persistent singling out of newly elected women of color." "That's not my experience with Nancy Pelosi," Harris said at the time during an interview with "The Breakfast Club," a New York-based radio show.
