The Democratic Party regained control of the House of Representatives in the new National Assembly 116, marking a significant power transfer at Capitol hill when the veteran female politician of California Nancy Pelosi won 220 votes, passing 192 votes for Mr. Kevin McCarthy, opponent of the Republican Party.
This is the second time Ms. Nancy Pelosi held the position of Chairman of the House of Representatives. Pelosi expressed her pride to become the female president of the House of Representatives at the new National Assembly to mark the 100 -year -old American woman with the right to vote. This is also the National Assembly with a record higher number of female parliamentarians in history.
Speaking after being elected, Pelosi called on the National Assembly to unite but she said that it was very difficult to cooperate with Republicans under President Donald Trump. In the new position, she pledged to pursue policies to reduce medical care costs, solve climate change problems, “restore honesty” in the US government and other priorities of the Democratic Party.
Pelosi’s immediate challenge right after taking office is a situation where the government is closing a part. The US president expressed his hope to be able to cooperate with the new House of Representatives led by the Democratic Party but still repeated the requirement of a border wall before the government could reopen.
In an interview broadcast on January 3 of NBC, Pelosi affirmed that President Trump could not convince her to grant money to build a border wall and decided to close the government partly not related to the Democratic Party. She emphasized that the budget bill submitted to the new National Assembly will not include the money for Mr. Trump’s border wall.
Although Nancy Pelosi, the leader of the Democratic faction in the House of Representatives, pledged to promote the National Assembly to work for Americans; However, her party will conduct surveys against President Trump, threatening the White House’s agenda.

In the House of Representatives since 1987, her political career has been underestimated, but by regaining the majority of the Democratic Party and sitting in the chair of the House of Representatives, Pelosi has proven to those who oppose them. Nancy Pelosi has been the leader of the Democratic faction at this legislature over the past 16 years. It was Pelosi who made history when she became the first woman to be the Chairman of the House of Representatives in the 2007-2011 term.

Ms. Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic Party leaders |
Ms. Pelosi is the political voice capable of donating the strongest financial party of the Democratic Party. So far, she has donated more than $ 90 million to the Party in the last midterm election.
Pelosi was born into an Italian -American national family. Her father was a Maryland MP, who used to be the mayor of Pandemot City for 12 consecutive years. Her brother, Mr. Thomas D’Alesandro, also took on the mayor of the above city. Influenced by the family, right from the time when the book was stolen to school, Nancy had the direction to join the political school.
Mr. Thomas d’Alesandro recalls: “We are all born and raised in the political environment, and we all follow this path. Our door is always open, everyone comes to find jobs, please help medical help, help home … and Pelosi have a chance right from the years of childhood to live in the political world at the local level.”
At that time, politics in the age of her father was a concern for the existence of children of the Italian immigrants, how to get a job, to survive in a big city, how to enjoy fair rights. It is these things that have stated the aspiration to do something to bring the most economically fair for the American people of Pelosi.

She is the pioneer to promote the position of women in American society |
When asked how the family environment had an influence on the political path, Nancy Pelosi said that what she learned from her family was about economic fairness and she always thought of a agenda of a fair economy, where all Americans could participate in the success of the country.
After graduating from Washington Academy, Nancy married Powro Pelosi. Later, the two moved to live in Francisco, hometown Powro. Powro is very proficient in real estate and stocks, so the family quickly becomes rich, possessing assets worth up to $ 25 million. Mrs. Pelosi gave birth to 5 children. Although the achievement of political activities is very prominent, Pelosi thinks that for women, the role of a mother in the family is the most important.
In 1987, she was elected to the National Assembly. She publicly participated in the activities of homosexual organizations, opposed the draft “abortion” law. She also steadfastly supported the stance of unions, environmental protection organizations and consumer organizations.
As president of the House of Representatives, Nancy is the one who always supports policies for women. She always protects the rights of women, especially the federal budget approval for abortion and financial support for these organizations, although abortion is a controversial issue in the United States by Catholic teachings.
She has also supported many laws on strengthening support for the poor and disabled people while increasing taxes on the upper class in the US. She is also a supporter of immigrants’ rights, including voting against the Border Fence Building Act.
What is more surprising is that despite being elderly, her health is abundant, every night watching MTV programs late at night. In February 2018, Ms. Pelosi made a speech to the House of Representatives continuously for 8 hours and 7 minutes about illegal immigrants.
