House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said she had planned on
retiring if Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton took the White House in 2016
rather than Donald Trump.
“If Hillary had won, I was ready to go home,” she told reporters Friday
during a Christian Science Monitor Breakfast in Washington, D.C., according
to Politico. "None of us thought Hillary would win. We all knew she would
win."
“It was really shocking that somebody like Donald Trump could be president
of the United States. … But anyway, that motivated me to stay.”
Pelosi, who was a driving force behind enacting ObamaCare in 2010, said she
feels responsible to fight Republican efforts to repeal and replace the
healthcare law now.
“If [Clinton] were there, then I would not worry about that,” said Pelosi,
who was House Speaker during ObamaCare’s passage.
Pelosi said she is now making decisions "one day to the next."
The veteran California lawmaker survived a challenge to her spot as minority
leader after the election, defeating Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio).
House Republicans debuted their long-awaited legislation for repealing and
replacing ObamaCare late Monday.
Pelosi has blasted the legislation, called the American Health Care Act, and
on Tuesday said it would cost tens of millions Americans their healthcare
coverage.
“It will be the biggest transfer of wealth from low-income and middle-
income people to wealthy people in our country,” she said on “CBS This
Morning." "Show us the numbers as to how many people will be thrown off. It
couldn’t be worse.”
Trump and GOP leaders in Congress are pushing for quick action on the
controversial replacement strategy.
But some conservative Republicans have balked at the details, with many
charging a refundable tax credit for helping people get health insurance is
a “new entitlement." |
