Pelosi, the de facto head of the Democratic Party until a presidential nominee is selected in 2020, offered Democrats her “coldblooded” plan for decisively ridding themselves of Mr. Trump: Do not get dragged into a protracted impeachment bid that will ultimately get crushed in the Republican-controlled Senate, and do not risk alienating the moderate voters who flocked to the party in 2018 by drifting too far to the left.
“Own the center left, own the mainstream,” Ms. Pelosi, 79, said.
“Our passions were for health care, bigger paychecks, cleaner government a simple message,” Ms. Pelosi said.
“We did not engage in some of the other exuberances that exist in our party” — a reference to ambitious plans advocated by the left wing and some 2020 candidates, including “Medicare for all” and the Green New Deal, which she has declined to support.
