Inside Nancy Pelosi’s playbook to wrangle the freshmen
Using strategies she’s honed over decades, the speaker has managed to keep a sprawling freshman class in line — and on her side — despite breaking with them on issues ranging from impeachment to the "Green New Deal."“I think there’s a level of empathy there,” Rep. Ayanna Pressley , a member of the progressive squad that has frequently, said of Pelosi’s approach to her class. “She certainly knows what it is to be singled out, and to be vilified.
“You don’t want to be condescending, but you also have to be courageous enough to say, 'This is how we’re going to do this,' in the right way,” Pelosi told POLITICO recently when asked how she addresses the freshmen. “I think it’s a combination of fear and respect,” said Rep. Gerry Connolly . “You understand the power of this office, speaker, and its potential impact on your future career and you tread carefully.”
But even the caucus’ progressive firebrands, who have been demanding Trump’s impeachment for months, only gently disagreed with Pelosi.
