Nancy Pelosi

At least until it passes the Senate, then it’s time for a gloat-fest.

Via WaPo:

. . . Entering her weekly caucus meeting, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) told reporters that a “clean” increase of the nation’s borrowing limit is “the smart thing to do,” but declined to say whether she’d be able to deliver the votes needed to ensure passage of the plan.

But inside the meeting, Pelosi and her lieutenants instructed rank-and-file members, “don’t gloat, take it in stride and hang together,” according to a lawmaker who was in the room.

Later, House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) couldn’t guarantee that all 200 Democrats would help approve the debt limit increase, telling reporters that “north of 180” Democrats would support the move.
