Struggling House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) won a key endorsement Thursday in her bid to beat back insurgent liberal rivals challenging her leadership position after winning the endorsement of the National Republican Congressional Committee.
The NRCC, a 527 campaign organization, issued a press release to announce its support for Pelosi, the veteran California congresswoman and former speaker of the House, against Democrats running from her left and right flanks.
“The NRCC would like to offer its full support to the embattled former speaker of the House,†the release said. “Under Nancy Pelosi’s leadership, House Democrats squandered their majority by forcing through unpopular legislation like Obamacare.â€
“
No single person deserves more credit for House Republicans’ historic majority than Nancy Pelosi,†NRCC spokeswoman Katie Martin said in the release. “House Democrats have become completely irrelevant, and there is no better way to ensure that remains the case than by keeping her as minority leader.â€
