President Donald Trump tweeted he hopes House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi stays as leader of the Democrats.
But Trump’s tweet was not well-wishing. Rather, Trump said “it would be very bad for the Republican Party” if Pelosi were forced out.
Trump’s tweet came amid criticism from some Democrats that the House minority leader is becoming a drag on the party and blamed a string of near-misses in House special elections on Pelosi, most recently Republican Karen Handel’s win over Jon Ossoff in Georgia.
Trump said he hoped Pelosi and “Cryin’ Chuck stay” in reference to Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer.
