Queen Nancy Pelosi wins reelection

SIXTY-TWO DAYS TO GO. Donald Trump doesn't like Nancy Pelosi. They have had words in the past. Now he must be staeming with rage to hear that she has won reelection as Speaker of the House. If she can do it, why couldn't he? Well, of course, he still doesn't accept that he failed to win reelection but eventually he will implicitly accept defeat when he leaves the White House for the last time in January and he will have to put up with seeing Nancy ruling the roost in the House of Representatives in her 80s and remaining third in line to the presidency. Very galling for him. Nancy meanwhile is unbelievable. She had originally said she would only stand for one term this time, partly because of her age I assume but also partly because of the firebrand younger generation Congresswomen who feel her time is up and that she needs to be replaced by a progressive Democrat. But she won some of them round and has sailed into another two years as Speaker. Good for her. She managed to sweet-talk her opponents who were angry at the relatively poor showing the Democrats made in the Congressional elections. But the anti-Pelosi brigade feel a lot more cheerful now of course because Joe Biden has become president-elect and Kamala Harris is vice president-elect. That has dramatically changed the atmosphere, even though a number of House Democrats lost their seats. Queen Nancy will continue to reign.
