LEESBURG, Va. ― House Democrats gathered here Thursday for their annual retreat to talk about policy goals and celebrate their return as the chamber’s majority. But 100 days into their new reign, the lawmakers face real divisions beneath all the happy talk.

Just don’t tell that to Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).

“You guys have it all wrong,” Pelosi told reporters at a press conference marking the start of the retreat. “We have such a unified [caucus]. If it serves your purpose to say we’re seething, you’re on the wrong track. But you can waste your time on that, while we go forward with what we are going to do for the American people.”

Pelosi continued: “Good morning!”

Despite Pelosi’s protests and a.m. greetings, the Democrats confront a number of issues splitting their ranks

Large numbers of the caucus support a national minimum wage of $15 an hour, while others prefer a more moderate approach of “regional” minimum wages, more along the lines of $12 an hour.

Questions also persist about how the Democrats ought to handle oversight of President Donald Trump. While many liberals want aggressive investigations and say their leaders ought to do whatever is possible to get Trump’s tax returns, a number of Democrats from politically vulnerable districts are wary of taking on the administration on the issue.

And on the one item that Congress absolutely has to deal with ― a government spending plan ― the Democrats remain divided.

Earlier this week, the Progressive Caucus prevented a budget crafted by their party’s leaders from coming to the House floor for a vote. Leaders of the liberal faction still think they are in the driver’s seat as they push for more dollars for non-defense programs, but appropriators are moving forward with the spending levels that progressives balked at.

As Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Nita Lowey (D-N.Y.) said of progressives on Wednesday, “When they become chair of the Appropriations Committee, they can figure it out.”

Progressives don’t want defense to get more money than all other discretionary programs combined. And they were successful in derailing legislation this week that would have set caps of $664 billion for defense and $631 billion for non-defense. But appropriators are moving ahead with those levels anyway.
