The Treasury secretary on Tuesday reassured GOP senators he wasn’t secretly controlled by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, underscoring the current power struggle on Capitol Hill and Pelosi's strong position

Pelosi has long been accustomed to wielding authority in Washington, and she’s completely comfortable as the only woman at a power table with a select number of seats. But this Pelosi, whom some privately call “speaker 2.0,” is different. Her second turn with the gavel shows a woman who seems to be relishing the job, guiding the House with an unencumbered and, at times, even brazen leadership style.Pelosi has always had a self-possession that can elude even seasoned lawmakers.

“Pelosi has made the decision that it is in the political interest of the Democratic Party to have as many people out of work and home and broke as possible because they believe that’s how Joe Biden wins,” said Sen. Ted Cruz . “I understand why she’s doing that. I don’t understand why Republicans would facilitate it.”

Pelosi has also embraced being in the public eye to an even greater level, cooperating with two biographies on her this year and participating in 104 interviews on television and radio in the past four months alone as Democrats sought to counter Trump’s messaging machine.

Nancy Pelosi is a joke....she's an eighty year old woman trying to act fifty.

They already blame Democrats

She is a big fat liar. Trillions in dem pork & demands for radical unrealistic policy change is her offer. She DOES NOT care at all about those in need. She only cares about $herself, her power and her party.

🤣🤣 yeah until realDonaldTrump signs an executive order giving the money away 👍🏻

They have given her everything she has asked for.

I agree, it needs to be passed.

Good that she's finally covering up the turkey neck with a 'mask'...

Can a fungus just make her rot? Please?

Republicans are an opposition party Even when they rule they still act like an opposition party and won’t take the needed actions

Oh you can’t have it your way and only your way there has to be compromise. Also we’re not paying you lazy slobs to sit around and do nothing and collect a paycheck. VoteRedToSaveAmerica

Go Nancy!

A hard line by Dems is what is required to serve the American people...all of them stand to be screwed by a skinny Republican pandemic package that doesn’t protect everyone while the pandemic rages on!

Don't want to bust your Pelosi fan girling bubble, idiots, but there has been a Capitol Hill power struggle since the start of our government. Pelosi is doing what every other party over country political hack has done for decades, try to screw the other party.

BresPolitico He is not secretly controlled. It is all out in the open that she is way smarter and powerful.

Lol

Pelosi: 'I'm confident that we will have an agreement' on virus reliefHouse Speaker Nancy Pelosi tells Andrea Mitchell that she is 'confident that we will have an agreement' on coronavirus relief, though the time table remains up in the air. Pelosi says that the timing 'relates to the progress we make,' on key outstanding, adding that the two sides 'are a distance apart in terms of state and local' funding. Pelousy; tired of you, can you leave politics please? Where are we going to get 3$T? The Republicans are against the new deal and helping people. The problem is if they don't swallow hard and pass a relief package they will be voted out of office. Mitch is not in charge. Nancy is.

Pelosi: 'Very wrong' for Trump to consider the White House for convention speechHouse Speaker Nancy Pelosi criticizes President Trump's suggestion that he will 'probably' deliver his speech accepting the GOP nomination from the White House, telling Andrea Mitchell, 'Whether it's legally wrong or ethically out of the question, it shouldn't even have been something that was expressed.' She also reacts to the breaking news that Joe Biden will not deliver his convention speech in person in Milwaukee, saying that 'it's an indication of the seriousness with which he judges the situation.' That’s wher he lives and work.

Seems like lobbies are gobbling it all up. Nice wig Nancy Eff Pelosi

Republicans push Friday deadline in congressional coronavirus relief talksOne of the White House's lead negotiators in talks with congressional Democrats on a new round of coronavirus relief and some Senate Republicans said they viewed Friday as the deadline to reach a deal or drop talks. Why are democrats obstructing potential relief? The senate GOP is offering to extend unemployment ABOVE pre-crisis levels, though not to the $600 amount. Do they know what compromise is? Democrats do not care about American families. Democrats only care about POWER, not America. Please re-elect President Trump and give him back the House and Senate. Americans are suffering. Why would the Democrats want to delay? There are so cynical.
