Pelosi Tries Rallying Democrats Around Neutered Agenda, Demonstrating Dems' Divide

Linkedin Share

For these first nine months of the Biden presidency, things certainly haven’t gone the Democrats’ way.

The sting of Donald Trump’s electoral ouster is still nagging at the GOP, and so they aren’t too keen on giving the left an inch, let alone a vote.  And with a few wayward liberals gumming up what was supposed to be a congressional majority, the Biden agenda is essentially dead in the water.

Perhaps that is why the latest rallying cry from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi feels more like a pseudo-surrender. 

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) told Democrats on Monday night to “embrace” the scaled-down infrastructure bill as the chamber plans to vote on the legislation this week.

Pelosi urged Democrats to support the limited infrastructure bill as President Joe Biden has encouraged Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) to hold a vote on the Senate-passed Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, or the so-called bipartisan infrastructure bill, and the Build Back Better Act.

It appeared as though this was all about the optics.

Pelosi told Democrats to “embrace this” and “have a narrative of success.”

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) urged Democrats to support the bill to convince the American people to support the bill.

Nothing screams “liberal” quite like neutering your own agenda and then trying to claim victory.
