Nancy Pelosi Loses ‘Iron Fist’ Grip on Democrat Caucus

Report: Nancy Pelosi Loses 'Iron Fist' Grip on Democrat Caucus
The House Democrats' caucus elections went forward on Tuesday without Rep. Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) looming influence on Capitol Hill.

The House Democrats’ caucus elections went forward on Tuesday without Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) looming influence on Capitol Hill.
Pelosi, 84, who was out of the country receiving medical treatment after falling during a congressional trip in Germany, lost her “iron first” grip on House Democrats, Axios reported Wednesday. Her political career, like President Joe Biden’s, seems to be sunsetting.
Several House Democrats who Pelosi reportedly preferred as ranking members on committees did not succeed, such as Rep. Jim Costa (D-CA), who lost to Rep. Angie Craig (D-MN) for the top spot on the Agriculture Committee.

Axios reported on Pelosi’s diminished power on Capitol Hill to conduct a whip operation:
- “As one of her strong supporters, she never said anything to me,” said Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.), positing that there were “some overstatements about … this theory [that] she had to have her hands in some of this.”
- Said a senior House Democrat: “I did not have a conversation with the former speaker at all, and … if she was a part of it, I wasn’t aware of it.”
- Another senior House Democrat told Axios they “didn’t hear about any calls,” and, noting Pelosi’s hip replacement surgery, said that “of course she was not in much of a position to make calls the last week.”
Commentary:
Nancy Pelosi, Ruth ßader Ginsburg, Dianne Feinstein, John McCain, Mitch McConnell, Robert Byrd etc...
The need for age and term limits are needed in the Congress of the U.S. We need young minds to go with the wisdom to lead America to success.
In Nancy's case, despite the Bishop saying 'No!' to her taking Holy Communion she bragged about it and persisted. Is it called Karma?
After the fiasco of the Biden 4 year dementia cover up, Nancy owes it to her constituents to resign now. I've seen my mother go through a hip replacement surgery at that age and it was a painful year long recovery that kept her in an assisted living facility for months.
