 The president has a very small circle of political advisors. It's mostly his family, a handful of longtime staffers and friends. But for political counsel, he also relies on former Speaker Nancy Pelosi. He credits her with helping get through most of his legislative accomplishments. Also, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a top ally for years in the Senate. He spoke recently with both of them, along with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
