Report: Democrats Planned to ‘Ram All This Policy Down Their Throats’ Until Republican House VictoriesJoel B. Pollak 30 Nov 2020
Democrats planned to “ram all this [left-wing] policy down their throats†until Republicans won unexpected House victories in the November election, the Los Angeles Times reported Monday.
The Times quoted Rep. Scott Peters (D-CA):
“People were talking in a really cocky way before that Democrats were going to take the trifecta [White House, Senate and House], and we were not ever going to talk to Republicans about anything. We were going to ram all this policy down their throats,†said Rep. Scott Peters (D-San Diego), a moderate.
Ambitious liberal policies like Medicare for all and the Green New Deal are likely to be pushed to a back burner, though Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and other progressives have signaled they will continue to advocate for their movement.
Pelosi (D-San Francisco) had said before the election that Democrats would expand the Affordable Care Act by using a special procedure in the Senate that required only 50 votes, but it’s unclear now she will have even that.
