'I would hope that everyone would say, no matter who the nominee is for president, we wholeheartedly embrace that person,' Nancy Pelosi, seen here on Feb. 26, 2020, said.Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday urged party unity amid Bernie Sanders’ surge in the presidential race, even as House Democrats worry about a volatile election season that could put a self-described democratic socialist atop the ticket and threaten their majority.
Many first-term Democrats are counting on their own well-crafted brands, not the party’s eventual presidential nominee, whoever that may be, to see them to reelection. The House majority was built by lawmakers who come from districts where President Donald Trump is popular, and his campaign operation will be turning out voters in the fall.
Her opponents are already trying to tag Luria, a former Navy commander and Naval Academy graduate, as a “socialist,” she said. Luria rejects the label as “ridiculous.”She has endorsed Biden but had praise for former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg, calling both of them politicians who “build bridges rather than break them down.”
Divisions run deep among House Democrats, whose primary preferences span the party’s ideological reach, from the most liberal and progressive members backing Sanders to those preferring Biden, Bloomberg or the other more centrist candidates. In Tuesday night’s presidential debate, candidate Pete Buttigieg warned of the potential down-ballot consequences in Congress if Sanders won the nomination. Senate Democrats are struggling to flip the chamber from Republicans, who have a slim majority, while House Democrats are working to retain their advantage.
Pelosi said lawmakers will have a briefing Thursday at the Democratic National Committee headquarters about the nominating process. The party convention is in July.Democrats changed the nominating rules to reduce the power of “superdelegates” — lawmakers and other VIPs — to choose the nominee.
Tell bernie that.
Good luck with herding cats. It’s chaos in the Dem. Party.democraticdebates
Justice. She and old Guard Democrats will be eaten by the little monsters they help create.
Nancy Pelosi is one of the major reasons why the Democratic Party will be wiped out. Communist Sanders is cannon fodder for Trump !
