(#4589) The mastery of Nancy Pelosi

      Let us face this fact, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, is a master at her craft. Hands down she is amazing at getting her caucus to align behind whatever is important at the moment. Not on single democrat voted against any of the bills before the House yesterday. There were at least 4 votes that were critical and not one democrat voted against anything Nancy advocating for. Now that is leadership! There are 220 democrats to align and Nancy was once again able to keep a diverse left and right of democratic center caucus together.
     Of course there was much at stake that was beyond the workings of the House but still to mold and shape a timely response is almost magical. I know it isn't some luck of the draw or a trick that is easily explained. It is hard work, determination and a steady hand that is needed to get things done when the nearly impossible is at play. Yet at this critical time in our country's history the absolute correct person to be leading the House is Nancy Pelosi. What is even more critical is the example that she sets for the Senate now to emulate.
     President Biden has some hard work to do as well as Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to get the Senate to pass both infrastructure and voting protection bills. But that is the last leg of the race as it were, and the hefty lead Leader Pelosi has given us is hopeful if not reassuring. The Senate pathway is clear and all it is going to take is some intellect and a strong hand to get it done. I am glad that Nancy has shown the way and if the Senate can be led to a similar outcome the benefit to the American people will be felt for generations to come.
