May 8th, 2018:House Democrats Forced to Pull Immigration Bill
Merely 30 minutes until the scheduled vote on the Democrat's Immigration Bill, Minority Leader Ryan was forced to pull the bill because Democrats did not have enough votes. This is a major loss for Democrats and a big leadership failure on behalf of Ryan. Ryan had hoped to rally enough Republicans to pass the bill but he could only get 11 Republicans to switch sides. Republicans celebrated the failure of the bill and said that this will only help Republican candidates in November.
Didn't you say that Nelson retired in Florida. That Race would then be Scott vs Crist I presume.
There are just too many Democrats in Red States so Republicans will have a clear Majority come January 2019.
You did well tho in this TL to retire Pelosi for good.
