Hillary Clinton praised Nancy Pelosi for leading the Democratic party to a sweeping victory in the 2018 midterms, applauding her in TIME magazine's 2019 list of the world’s most influential people
Wednesday morning, releasing its chronicle of the 100 individuals it deems “the world’s most influential people” written by their friends, colleagues and celebrity peers.
In her description of Pelosi , Clinton — a former Secretary of State and the first female presidential nominee of a major party — called the speaker a “driving force” in the Democrats’ campaign to retake the House and lauded her ability to spur action in a national political environment often characterized by its stagnation.
“She delivered,” Clinton wrote. “Under her leadership, Democrats passed the first major gun-safety bill in a generation and desperately needed voting-rights legislation. As Democrats continue fighting to protect reproductive rights, pass paid family leave, protect Americans’ right to affordable health care and hold this Administration to account, Nancy is leading the charge.
In the Time entry, Clinton praised Pelosi for opening “the door for a Congress that’s more diverse than any other in our nation’s history and has some of its youngest members ever.” “Never one to back down from a bully, Nancy didn’t mince words during a visit to the White House after the elections,” Clinton wrote. “’Please don’t characterize the strength that I bring to this meeting,’ she said, standing up for herself and millions of Americans.”
