Nancy Pelosi just dropped the hammer on Mitch McConnell
Even though the second round of coronavirus relief legislation is about to pass in bipartisan fashion, the real battle is looming over the next round of legislation. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is looking to cut off the states and steer all the money to the wealthy. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is looking to bail out the working class and pave the way for nationwide mail-in voting.
That third round of legislation will represent a battle for the ages between Pelosi and McConnell. Pelosi is already framing her argument, and she’s making a point of doing it in McConnell’s back yard. She did an interview with conservative Trump apologist Hugh Hewitt and said this:
Look at the language of Mitch McConnell: ‘I’m not bailing out blue states, they should go bankrupt.’ Really? Really? How insecure is he in his own race in Kentucky to have to resort to that pathetic language?
Speaker Pelosi has a habit of trying to get inside her opponents’ heads like this when she knows she’s about to head into negotiations with them. She’s done it to Donald Trump several times, and now she’s doing it to Mitch McConnell. It seems to work, as Pelosi usually tends to get the majority of what she’s seeking in these kinds of negotiations. McConnell is no pushover, but our money is on Pelosi.
