Pelosi’s Endgame

“Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) began her infrastructure endgame Tuesday, pressuring centrists to ultimately support as much social spending as possible while pleading with progressives to pass the roads-and-bridges package preceding it,” Axios reports.

“Neither group can achieve what it wants without the other, their ultimatums be damned. The leaders of both acknowledged the speaker’s unique gift for pulling off a deal after separate conversations with Democratic leaders.”

“The White House also is ramping up the pressure, specifically targeting the centrists.”
