It’s no secret that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. has a problem getting her party members in line.
The seasoned congresswoman is struggling to bring a party together that’s become far-left of the average American voter. Impeachment hungry radicals are undermining Pelosi and vowing to destroy all moderate Democrats.
It means that if she fails to deliver results in the 2020 election, Pelosi’s political career is toast.
And 10 critical hotspots mean big trouble for Pelosi — and have President Donald Trump’s supporters cheering.
According to The Hill, the election just might come down to just 10 battleground counties that decide whether or not Trump is reelected:
- Erie County, Pa.
- Sauk County, Wis.
- Muskegon County, Mich.
- Maricopa County, Ariz.
- Tarrant County, Texas
- New Hanover County, N.C.
- Peach County, Ga.
- Washington County, Minn.
- Hillsborough County, N.H.
- Lincoln County, Maine.
In the past decade, these battleground counties have either flipped from blue to red, or red to blue — swing counties.
This is the trouble for Pelosi. Democats in those swing counties face losing reelection bids if they jump on the impeachment bandwagon — moderate and independent voters have no stomach for that idea.
The Democratic voters in those counties would easily vote for Trump again if the far-left focus on impeachment, rather than the issues.
Rep. Andy Kim, D-N.J. stated it best — that impeachment proceedings aren’t going to simply “wish away” the problem of the country.
Pelosi needs moderates for the Democrats to stay loyal to have any shot at President Donald Trump in 2020.
But she also can’t lose support from the impeachment-hungry supporters hailing from the far-left leaning metropolitan Democratic hubs… the same supporters who follow Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’, D-N.Y. every move.
And these 10 counties show that Pelosi is stuck between a rock and a hard place.
