Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) laid out a dynamic in the House of Representatives as the White House, and the Senate Republicans worked to hammer out an agreement with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on a COVID-19 relief package.
According to Stefanik, Pelosi’s grip on the control of the House was slipping as more so-called progressive Democrats, like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), were on the rise.
“I think Mitch is exactly right. Speaker Pelosi has walked away again and again and again from negotiations,” she said. “There are a number of provisions that we agree on. For example, additional aid to small businesses who are continuing to suffer, particularly as we head into this holiday and retail season. Direct support for K-12 schools. That legislation would be signed into law today or yesterday if Speaker Pelosi would negotiate in good faith. Instead, she played politics leading up to the election, and she lost.”
“She lost every single toss-up seat in the country,” Stefanik continued. “Republicans have picked up numerous seats, and we’re continuing to pick them with an Iowa House seat and a California House seat. She is losing her leverage by the day. And I think the reality is if she can get her votes for speaker, which is still an open question, she is controlled by the far-left in AOC. So she’s going to have to go to them to get their approval.”

My rep Cheri Bustos did that, she ran the DCCC for Pelosi and neglected her congressional duties to become a political hack. At least her jets have been cooled by losing every seat she was supposed to win. Already out of the DCCC, hopefully in 2 years we’ll have her out of the House and replaced by Esther Joy King, who almost won this time. We need more like Rep. Stefanik.
Other than being too toothy, she isn’t bad looking. Rack and a half.
Oh, and she’s batcrap crazy.
Who didn’t see this coming?
And doesn’t wax
Won’t matter next time around.
They’ll just print up the ballots they need, switch some votes, you can campaign all you want, get everyone on your side...they’ll just fabricate it.
And the FedGov will sit on its thumbs.
If I owned a strip joint I would hire AOC in a New York minute.
Frankly Stefanik can say that but Pelosi knows well what strings to pull to leverage and retain her position as Speaker. ‘Squirts’ like AOC she can and will control.

You’re not saying much for yourself. Oh well, America is still free, so if you want to be a commie lover, then go for it. It makes you about as conservative as John McCain.
AOC ,The Zombie Leader
Then if we don’t feel like we have representation in Congress, it’s only fair for us to make sure we pay the least amount in taxes. Starve the beast while taking advantage of every program and loophole available to the ppl. If the voters in America are okay with Joke at the helm, then they deserve what’s coming.
