Pelosi Rebounds After Week of Infighting

“Speaker Nancy Pelosi had a list in hand as she worked the floor on Wednesday, buttonholing her members to secure an even bigger vote count for her hard-fought, massive budget deal,” Politico reports

“By Thursday, Pelosi shepherded enough Democrats to back her grand fiscal bargain with President Trump that she didn’t need a single GOP vote — a decisive victory for Democrats and a stark rebound for the speaker after a chaotic month that laid bare painful divisions within the caucus.}

“Separately, Pelosi navigated her caucus through one of the most high-profile moments of the majority — former special counsel Robert Mueller’s appearance on Capitol Hill — while averting what some Democrats feared could be a stampede toward impeachment.”
