Nancy Pelosi
The Public Record
Nancy Patricia Pelosi is an American politician serving as the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives since January 2019, and previously from 2007 to 2011. She is a member of the Democratic Party and has represented California's 12th congressional district in the House of Representatives since 1987, making her one of the longest-serving members of Congress. Pelosi is the first woman to hold the office of Speaker, a role in which she has played a significant part in shaping legislative priorities and party strategy.
Speaker Pelosi making it plain she thinks Trump wants to -- quote -- 'sabotage the election' and disenfranchise voters by kneecapping the way that many ballots would be handled and counted, through the mail.
The postal service, an all-American institution. I heard you earlier talk about what it means in terms of connecting family. We're talking here about how it delivers medicine. And again, at the time of a pandemic, how necessary it is for…
We put $25 billion. That figure is the figure that was recommended by the Board of Governors of the U.S. Postal Service, 100 percent appointed by Donald Trump. The president is afraid of the American people. He's been afraid for a while…
Last week, they came up with some meager proposals, and the president then over the weekend did even less to give an illusion so that the market would go up and people would think we're not paying attention that he might be doing something.

Well, thank you, Joy, for the opportunity to be with you. Congratulations on REIDOUT. We're all excited about your new show. An opportunity to talk about issues of concern to America's working families, and that's not what the president is…

We have the tools at our disposal: testing, tracing, treatment, isolation, mask wearing, sanitation to hold this virus in check, to try to beat it.
The members cannot come on to the floor of the House, unless they have a mask and I, as Speaker have directed the sergeant-at-arms, the Capitol Police to refuse entry into the hall if people don't have on a mask.
A plague that has an impact on our economy and it's about the lives of the American people, the livelihood of the American people and the life of our democracy.
Well, central to all of that is to get rid of this virus and that's why I keep coming back to the fact, we can open our economy, we can improve the situation if we follow science, but if you don't believe in science, and you don't believe…
This is a way for us to open our economy, facilitate opening our schools by reducing the rate of infection in our communities.
