Nancy Pelosi jumped into the electoral arena in the early years, but she has been involved in politics since her birth. It was Thomas D’Alesandro’s wife, Baltimore’s congressman and alcalde who was also strong enough to be governor. She launched her public career from California, got into trouble with financier Paul Pelosi, and went on to chair the Democratic Party of this great liberal bastion.

As an example of authority, what the gesture is with what the mandate calls on the Democrats who will applaud and celebrate the vote to launch the political juice against the president, a grave and solemn moment. And there is no discussion about the ability he has shown to succeed Trump from his side.
