President Trump’s endorsement of Pelosi has raised several eyebrows. Trump and Pelosi have previously sparred with one another regarding policy matters. Therefore, not many Americans would view the pair as political allies.
Despite the president’s endorsement, Pelosi is not expected to win overwhelming support from Republicans. Throughout the time leading up to the midterm elections, Republicans ongoingly ran negative ads against Pelosi. Members of the GOP also declared that Pelosi lacked the fitness to serve as House Speaker.
Saturday’s endorsement is not the president’s first declaration of support for Nancy Pelosi. Earlier this month, Trump also tweeted that Pelosi “deserves” to serve as Speaker of the House.
In all fairness, Nancy Pelosi deserves to be chosen Speaker of the House by the Democrats. If they give her a hard time, perhaps we will add some Republican votes. She has earned this great honor!
