The Breitbart News executive chairman and former White House chief strategist, is building a shadow party behind the G.O.P. that he hopes will drive out the establishment.

The Democrat from California has held the highest governmental position of any woman in U.S. history and is one half of Washington’s hottest power couple — “Chuck and Nancy.” She talked with Carl Hulse about protecting one of her signature policy victories, the Affordable Care Act, as well as the 2018 election, her love of chocolate and more.

The provocateur, political consultant and subject of a new Netflix documentary is one of President Trump’s oldest advisers.

The White House press secretary is one of the most visible jobs in American politics.
