PELOSI SOON TO RIDE THE ICE FLOE CLOSELY? House Dems sick of Pelosi.
Recriminations are flying over Democrats failing to take the House, with some members airing their grievances in a caucus meeting this week.
- Jeffries told members that “the buck stops with me.”
The bottom line: Some Democrats are clearly frustrated Pelosi isn’t fading into the sunset like she promised when she lost the gavel two years ago.
-
“My advice to my fellow Democrats is simple: Follow the leader. Hakeem Jeffries has done a great job,” Pelosi said in 2023.
-
“I understand that this is a difficult transition for her, not being the leader, but she is not,” the member of the Congressional Black Caucus told us.
-
“She needs to understand what her new role is.”
Flashback: The Democratic Party’s Ice Floe Politics. “The next time a Democratic politician makes an anonymous observation about the age or vigor of a colleague with whom they disagree, be skeptical. The remarks are made to reporters as if in sorrow, but the message is about as subtle as a shiv in the prison yard.”
