John,
The Hill: “Speaker Nancy Pelosi… and House Democrats will enter the next Congress with a slighter majority -- and less cushion to absorb defections -- as they eye an ambitious legislative agenda featuring a host of hot-button issues, from climate change to immigration.”
Republicans are hoping to use that slighter majority to their advantage, with the Republican House minority leader claiming that “we might not be able to schedule the floor, but we are going to run the floor” in the next Congress.
But they’ll have their work cut out for them. As the first woman to ever lead a party in Congress, Nancy Pelosi is no stranger to standing her ground when needed, reconciling differences and shifting public attitudes toward change -- and the new Congress won’t be an exception.
Despite the challenging political environment the Speaker now finds herself in, Pelosi has remained focused on what matters most in the Democratic legislative agenda: Passing a second stimulus relief bill to help working families struggling through the pandemic.
As Pelosi prepares to stand against a potential Republican majority in the Senate next year, we’re proudly supporting the woman who, despite her detractors, has always held down the House and defended our interests at the highest levels of government for over a decade. But today, we need to know where you stand:
Do you support Speaker Nancy Pelosi?
Thank you so much for taking our poll today.
