Pelosi Ain't Gonna Whip This One!

Nancy Pelosi, who met with her caucus today to gauge support for the deal, has not announced yet whether she’s in favor of it. More specifically, the question of whether Dem leaders will actively press members is key to gauging the proposal’s prospects for success. And it looks like they aren’t.

“We are not whipping,” one leadership aide tells me. “We are doing a leadership survey to see where members are.”

1. She'll vote for it. She never goes against the President.

But I don't think she's going to try to sell this to members of her caucus as she and Steny Hoyer have done in the past.

2. Good for her

Let the WH sell this shit and see how many Dem votes they get. He just lost the Progressive Caucus, the largest group of Dems.
