September 20, 2020: On ABC\u2019s This Week this morning, Pelosi is taking options off the table as Trump tries to nominate a replacement for the late Justice Ginsburg.<\/strong>

Less than 24 hours following Justice Ginsburg\u2019s passing, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and President Donald Trump are already laying the groundwork for a nomination.

They aim to hold a full Senate vote before the next administration takes office. This is after blocking Merrick Garland, President Obama\u2019s last nominee, from confirmation hearings for the better part of 2016.

Outrage is thoroughly appropriate. Everything, from the most basic rights of women to control their own bodies, to the right of communities to hold corporations accountable for labor or environmental abuses, hangs in the balance.

Yet, instead of keeping all the arrows in the constitutional quiver, Nancy Pelosi holds back as our Republic careens towards a predictable disaster.

During their interview, Pelosi told George\u00a0Stephanopoulos that the American people should vote and hope that \u201c\u2026the president will see the light.\u201d<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s why we must replace her.<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n\n\n\n
Pelosi and other corporate Democrats don\u2019t have our communities\u2019 interests\u2014or their oaths of office\u2014in mind. It\u2019s time for new voices to do the job they\u2019ve proven either unwilling, or unable, to do.

As the first Democrat to ever challenge Pelosi in a general election, I\u2019m grateful for the opportunity to represent our city\u2019s voice in Washington. Even though we\u2019ve raised over twice the support of any previous challenge to Pelosi, we\u2019re still outgunned over 15:1 by her corporate money machine.
