REPORT: Hakeem Jeffries Emerges As Frontrunner In Race To Replace Pelosi
Daily CallerJUL 2022
Throughout her storied career, Pelosi has made history as not only the first female Speaker of the House but as a stopgap between her party's agenda and the GOP. From pulling together support to pass Obamacare to leading the charge to enact last year's Inflation Reduction Act, she's become a thorn in the side of Republicans for almost two decades. She will leave an indelible mark on the House of Representatives.
Though stepping down from her official party leader status, Pelosi couldn't possibly let go of the nearly autocratic power she's held onto for so long. Just as she kept the halls of Congress locked down during COVID, she'll likely remain behind the scenes pulling the strings without being held to account in the public spotlight.
