Nancy Pelosi is the chief villain of Republican campaign ads. The leader some Democrats promise to vote against. The subject of much speculation that her grip on power is coming to an end.
Nevertheless, she says she's not going anywhere - and certainly not while President Donald Trump is in the White House.
'This is not anything to make a big fuss over, it's politics,' Pelosi said in a 35-minute phone interview with The Associated Press. 'I can take the heat and that's why I stay in the kitchen.'
Pushing back on those who say her leadership position is in jeopardy, Pelosi all but dared her doubters to envision any other House Democrat sitting across the table to negotiate with Trump.
'I have a following in the country that's unsurpassed by anybody, unless they're running for president,' Pelosi said.
Trump and the Republicans are eager to see her go, she said, 'and I'm just not going to let them do that.'
No goodbye: 'This is not anything to make a big fuss over, it's politics,' Pelosi said. 'I can take the heat and that's why I stay in the kitchen.'
