And for beleaguered Republicans coming off a disastrous election, it was their first step back to political power.

“We have no time to waste,” Biden said at the White House after the House passage early Saturday. That ships the bill to the Senate, where Democrats seem bent on resuscitating their minimum wage push and fights could erupt over state aid and other issues.

Republicans oppose the $15 minimum wage target as an expense that would hurt businesses and cost jobs.

Instead, it appears Democrats made a serious miscalculation in assuming their antipathy toward Trump would fuel victories across the country. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which supports the party's House candidates, is beginning a “deep dive” examination into what happened. Voters for months watched Republican ads featuring unrest with narrators ominously attacking Democrats as anti-police, often with little response.

Against that backdrop, many House Democrats have for years impatiently insisted it's time for fresh leadership. To become speaker again, Pelosi will need more votes than House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., who’s likely to garner nearly unanimous GOP support. Though she's likely to succeed, it won’t be simple because when Pelosi was elected speaker in January 2019, 15 Democrats opposed her. At least one former Pelosi opponent, Rep. Kurt Schrader, D-Ore., has already said he's open to backing her as speaker this time. Pelosi came to Congress in 1987 and has led House Democrats, both as the minority and majority party, ever since 2003.
