House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that Democrats would continue to push their “For the People” agenda, which has been spearheaded by a sweeping voting rights, anti-corruption bill.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi closed the House Democrats’ annual spring retreat, the focus of which was to highlight Democratic accomplishments in the first 100 days of their majority, by pushing back at Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who had told reporters that he wanted to make the 2020 elections a “referendum on socialism.”
“We need to have a referendum on socialism,” the Senate majority leader said. “I’m going to be arguing, and I’m encouraging my colleagues to argue, that we are the firewall against socialism in this country.” Republicans have opposed the bill, and Democrats knew when they passed it that the broad initiative would be dead on arrival in the Republican-controlled Senate.
She also took a swipe at President Donald Trump’s tax reform law, which a Republican-controlled Congress passed during his first year in office. Pelosi said it was engineered to benefit the rich, as the administration and Republicans point to lower unemployment and the creation of new jobs as proof its success, and claim that Americans are paying lower taxes.
