Speaker Nancy Pelosi faces a critical test of her command over the 235-member Democratic caucus.
As internal divisions between progressive and moderate Democrats over the direction of the party’s legislative agenda threaten to erode their new House majority, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi now faces a critical test of her command over the 235-member Democratic caucus.
“We just have to get the best we can get,” Pelosi, D-Calif., encouraged. “Fight for it. Not settle for anything. But understand that every fight is the beginning of the next fight.” Pelosi seemed to direct her contempt towards the so-called"Squad" – a quartet of freshmen progressives Reps. Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and Ayanna Pressley – signaling it’s time to tamper down criticism of fellow Democrats.
“No, I do not,” Pelosi insisted. “Four people voted against the bill. That’s what I said. I have no regrets about anything. Regrets are not what I do.” “All these articles want to claim what a legislative mastermind Pelosi is, but I'm seeing way more strategic smarts from freshman members like @AOC, @IlhanMN , @RashidaTlai and @AyannaPressley,” Chakrabarti tweeted July 6. “Pelosi is just mad that she got outmaneuvered by Republicans.”
While more Republicans voted to pass a bill than Democrats for the first time in the 116th Congress, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer emphasized that the majority of his Democratic caucus still voted for the bill in an effort to “get the best result,” though he conceded the move created some hard feelings.
“Now we’re at a point where we can move forward, and we will move forward in defense of both the rule of law on the border and in defense of our cherished history as a nation of immigrants,” Jeffries, D-N.Y., said.
