Can Pelosi Keep Democrats Together?

“Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is now leading the slimmest House majority since World War I, putting a premium on party unity as leaders this spring craft trillions of dollars of infrastructure and antipoverty legislation,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“A handful of Democratic lawmakers have said they would try to block any tax changes proposed by President Biden that don’t also restore state and local tax deductions. Others, including members of the outspoken progressive wing, are lobbying for Medicare expansion, longer-lasting child benefits and more spending to address climate change, although for now they have emphasized cooperation rather than issuing ultimatums.”
