The massive gains represent a more than 10% rebound from a three-year low. Democrats, Republicans and Trump administration officials have indicated a deal on the nearly $2 trillion stimulus was likely very close. (Las Vegas Review-Journal)
The White House is committed to the shutdown fight, but missing out on delivering the State of the Union would pain President Donald Trump. One of Trump’s 2020 challengers, Sen. Kamala Harris, is a flawed presidential candidate. That’s all according to Debra Saunders, the Las Vegas Review-Journal’s White House correspondent.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., on Monday addressed the annual United Steelworkers convention in Las Vegas, where 2,500 delegates were expected to attend.
As a congressional Democratic leader, Pelosi is pushing for her party to pick up more seats in the Nov. 4 general election, although Republicans are widely expected to maintain control of the House this year.
Democrats will need to excite their union backers to help get out the vote in a lackluster year when there’s no presidential race or U.S. Senate contest in Nevada to drive voters to the polls.
