She's the Speaker of the House. Outstanding legislation proposed by the President of the United States (a member of her political party) would subsidize the electric vehicle sector to the tune of $174 billion.

This type of uncertainty/doubt argument can go both ways. Her spouse lost money on that specific option call, so that could also be proof she didn't use her influence.

By all members with a (D) after the name who she leads, perhaps, and some others, but not all. > that could also be proof she didn't use her influence I don't find this a compelling enough argument that it would likely restore the public's lost trust in these institutions.
