House Speaker Nancy Pelosi played down victories such as her own and that of New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, saying elections are won elsewhere.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has played down Democratic victories in districts such as her own and that of Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, fending off calls from some of the party’s newer members and politicians to shift leftwards.
But they face resistance from the party’s center and right, which believe a significant move left would be unpopular among voters and therefore a major electoral mistake that would keep Republican Party in the presidency, as well as gift it control of both chambers in Congress. “And not to diminish the exuberance, and the personality, and the rest of Alexandria and the other members...But the 43 districts—we won 43, net gain of 40—were right down the middle. Mainstream, hold-the-center victories.
“Now, I'm a liberal from San Francisco,” Pelosi said on Monday night. “I can compare my liberal credentials across the board. And I said to them, anything that you're about, I got that down in my basement 25 years ago. Single payer, all of this. Been there, done that, pushing a stroller many decades ago with all of that, so I share those values.”
