Nancy Pelosi, embraced by Bay Area delegation, was a "masterclass in wielding power"

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : Although Pelosi's tenure has been lauded for her accomplishments - she is credited with ushering through the Affordable Care Act and significant pieces of President Biden's agenda - she has also been vilified by Republicans, including fellow Californian Kevin McCarthy, the Minority leader from Bakersfield who will likely take her place as Speaker when Republicans take control of the House in January.
27% :Pelosi's pro-choice stand on abortion also raised the ire of conservative San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore J. Cordileone, who last spring said he would deny Holy Communion to Pelosi - a devout Catholic and mother of five who quoted scripture in her speech Thursday.
