“What’s important is that we have large numbers of votes on the floor of the House,' Pelosi said.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi appeared to take an indirect shot at freshman Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who some see as the de facto face of the Democratic Party.
While Pelosi admitted to being “a progressive from San Francisco,” the two-time House speaker last month said “you have to govern mainstream.” Democratic socialist Ocasio-Cortez’s agenda including the Green New Deal has been deemed too progressive by Pelosi and some fellow Democrats and would have no chance of getting past a Republican-controlled Senate.
Ocasio-Cortez has become one of the most well-known politicians on social media, but that has not equated to popularity. A Gallup poll last month revealed that 41 percent viewed Ocasio-Cortez unfavorably, up from 26 percent in September. The poll found that 7 of 10 Americans know who Ocasio-Cortez is and have an opinion about her, up from half of Americans in September.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi greets Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez , D-NY, during the ceremonial swearing-in at the start of the 116th Congress at the Capitol in Washington, D.C., January 3, 2019. Pelosi said, “While there are people who have a large number of Twitter followers, what’s important is that we have large numbers of votes on the floor of the House,” possibly in reference to Ocasio-Cortez.
