In the 2018 midterms, Nancy was the driving force that brought a Democratic majority back to the House, and opened the door for a Congress thats more diverse than any other in our nations history and has some of its youngest members ever. Never one to back down from a bully, Nancy didnt mince words during a visit to the White House after the elections. Please dont characterize the strength that I bring to this meeting, she said, standing up for herself and millions of Americans.
She delivered. Under her leadership, Democrats passed the first major gun-safety bill in a generation and desperately needed voting-rights legislation. As Democrats continue fighting to protect reproductive rights, pass paid family leave, protect Americans right to affordable health care and hold this Administration to account, Nancy is leading the charge.
Theres a saying that goes: If you want something done, ask a busy woman to do it. Speaker Nancy Pelosi is living proof that when it comes to getting the job done, more often than not, it takes a woman.

The media always looks for problems, but out of our 235 Democrats in the house, how many names have their continual efforts made known?

(7,142 posts)Congresspersons in her 60 Minutes interview. I'm with her all the way, I pushed for her to become Speaker, but, I wish she would put impeachment back on the table. It is not a given that by not impeaching trump that we will beat him in 2020. To me that's putting all of our Easter eggs in one basket.
I hope she is right and I am wrong.

(1,402 posts)Thank You, Hillary. All Democrats need desperately to stick together against the criminals in the WH. We need to fight them every inch of the way. This country has been taken over by a bunch of hoodlums!! These are not normal law-abiding republicans. We are up against something we have never been against before and it will take all of us to fight-fight-fight!! Our party has NOT changed!! The republican party has changed, we must all remember that!!
