Speaker Pelosi statement today.

""As Congress advances infrastructure and reconciliation legislation, the House remains committed to realizing the totality of President Biden's vision, including the essential initiatives that will help us secure a cleaner, stronger, fairer future for all. Today, and every day, let us renew our vow to not only protect Social Security for every generation, but to strengthen the economic security for every family for decades to come."

I think this statement speaks for itself.

My post was directed at the OP, which is about Speaker Pelosi, specifically.
#See Post 6 for a just a few of the major credits to the legacy that is exclusive to her remarkable skillset.

• Held all House Dems so they blocked the George W. Bush effort to end Social Security.
• Shored up the spine of all Dems, including President Obama, and saw the Affordable Care Act to the finish line.
• Blocked Trump's attempts to get rid of DACA.
• Held firm against funding the wall. Court opinions helped too.
• Oversaw a bipartisan House condemnation of Trump's abrupt withdrawal from Syria and abandonment of Kurdish allies.
• Apparently psyched Trump to stupidly own shutting down Congress
• Owned his State of the Union address by the way she clapped at the end of the first one after Dems took the majority,
• Demonstrated vividly how full of lies his second SOTU was by tearing it up
• Holding firm to get BOTH the hard and soft infrastructure bills passed so climate change is actually addressed.

And that's just a top of my head list.
