More than a few Democrats have said they are wavering on supporting Pelosi as their leader next year. At least four House Democrats are running ads stating their opposition to the speaker's agenda, and one Democrat running in Tennessee called for her resignation.
Why? Because she is Republican target #1.
Republicans have decided to double down on their anti-Pelosi campaign, making her a central figure in their campaign this fall. Among the dozen TV ads released by the National Republican Congressional Committee over the weekend, eight prominently featured Pelosi, even in two districts in Michigan and Illinois where the Democratic candidates have never served with her.
Pelosi seems to be standing up to this pressure.
Publicly and privately, Pelosi rejects any talk of losing the majority. Instead, she is focusing on a furious fundraising effort this fall to ensure that the very lawmakers openly running away from her have enough campaign cash to win reelection. ...WaPo
And frankly, she's making a lot of her fellow Dems look like real weenies.
