After losing at least 13 seats in the House of Representatives, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is desperately attempting to whip up the necessary support to retain her speakership. For Pelosi, that means prodding her congressional allies to return, even those at higher risk of severe illness from Covid-19.
Pelosi’s frantic efforts sharply contrast with her carefree opposition to bipartisan coronavirus relief.

The Daily Wire reports:
House Democrats, Senate Republicans, and Trump administration officials are still hammering out the details of a coronavirus relief package but, as Republican Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) pointed out Monday, Pelosi has yet to recall Democrats to Washington to vote on such a vital piece of legislation.
“Pelosi is fine with House Democrats skipping work if the votes are about legislation, but in January she will demand every Democrat show up—in person—to vote for her for Speaker,” McCarthy said, per Fox News. “Her message is clear: her power is more important than anything else.”
Indeed, Pelosi has been demanding her supporters return for the vote, which will happen among House members in attendance when Congress gavels back into session on January 3rd, following the holiday break. Only those who are present for the vote can cast a ballot, and Pelosi, Politico reports, needs all the help she can get.
“Pelosi and her allies have been ratcheting up their lobbying campaign in recent weeks to ensure House Democrats are in the Capitol that first Sunday in January,” the outlet noted over the weekend. “Pelosi has had help from her top deputies, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) and Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-SC), according to several sources familiar with the effort. She and her supporters have also deployed former Obama administration alumni and big donors to help squeeze undecided Democrats, in addition to influential politicians and labor leaders in lawmakers’ home states.”

Drinker of the House Pelosi is doing this in anticipation of becoming vice-president WHEN Biden is “knocked off” during his first six months in office.
Mark my words. The Demon-crats are planning to kill Biden, then blame it on Trump supporters. That way, Kneepads Harris won’t need to use her kneepads to become president, and the Speaker of the House moves up to VP.
the comunist crooks demoncrats are a terorist organization and care noting about the American citizen they care how to destroy our country and take away out freedom and get in power
I SAY NO TO ANY BAILOUT. The ONLY ones who possibly need it are small businesses. And we saw how many rich companies and friends of politicians got the money last time.
NO NO NO NO.
Pelosi dragged her feet before. Now give her credit for THIS failure and VETO THE SUCKER.
