The Republicans could not be happier. Pelosi is a lightning rod. And under her leadership, the Democrats lost everything: president, house, senate, supreme court, and governors. The longer she’s in power, the less power the Dems will have.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) won an eighth term leading the Democratic caucus Wednesday, prevailing in a contest that became a vote of confidence in her continued stewardship and an early proxy battle over the future of the Democratic Party. Pelosi easily beat Rep.
