Pelosi's Democrats have little to show voters after first 100 days in House majority

Democrats stormed into control of the House on promises to raise wages, lower the cost of health care and improve how Congress works, saying they were siphoning power from Washington elites and giving it back to the people.

At the 100-day mark, they have barely made a dent.

They have passed bills to revamp campaigns, to tighten gun controls and to reinstate Obama-era regulations restricting internet companies’ sales practices in a policy known as net neutrality. None of those is expected to have action in the Senate.

A bill to block President Trump’s border wall emergency declaration did clear both chambers, but the House was unable to override the president’s veto.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she and her team should get a bit of a pass, given the headwinds they faced when they claimed the majority Jan. 3.
