Many Democratic candidates have distanced themselves from House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi in efforts to unseat Republicans in midterm elections this year.
Republicans have for years used Pelosi as a boogeyman – and the prospect of that coming to an end terrifies them.
WASHINGTON – House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is a favourite target for Republican candidates and groups to tie to their opponents and paint them as out of touch, elitist, or excessively liberal – but her fundraising prowess still proves to be a massive benefit to Democrats.
While Pelosi has remained adamant that she will stay on as leader and shrugged off the handful of Democratic candidates across the US who have distanced themselves from her, the possibility that she would step down to assume a purely fundraising role is a prospect that terrifies Republicans.
