personal donation for Angie

January 31, 2018

Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco cash has officially entered Minnesota politics in 2018. We now know that Pelosi’s campaign personally donated to Angie Craig.

This comes just a week after The Intercept published a story on national Democrats’ favoritism in primaries – based on who can raise the most money, not who best fits the district – and prominently featured Angie Craig as an example. They said: Despite spending $4.8 million, Craig lost by 2 points. That narrow defeat, though, belied the true failure of her campaign. She was, objectively, the least inspiring candidate up and down the ballot…

Pelosi’s donation is a clear indication:

  • Angie Craig will vote for Nancy Pelosi for Speaker of the House.
  • Angie Craig agrees with Pelosi that $2,000 bonuses for middle-class workers are “crumbs.”
  • San Fran and DC money (and values) will be flooding into Minnesota to try and buy a congressional seat.

This is great news for Jason Lewis, as Nancy Pelosi is the most unpopular political figure in each competitive district across the country.
