That would then be on the Senate side. Until after the first of the year, a simple majority, which the Republican’s have, will get anything through the house. Pelosi has nothing to do with the Senate except Schumer’s ear. And even he doesn’t need her whispers to do what he’s doing. He’d simply be doing it. Blaming Pelosi is deflection. And I’m not fan of hers.

I'm not blaming Pelosi like the article's headline suggests. If I were in Pelosi's position, I'd be doing the same thing. I, too, don't know why the author is tying this to a Pelosi bid for Speaker.

The Democrats are simply running out the clock to expire the current House bill. They don't need anything other than time. Everything I laid out comes into play after the next Congress convenes.
