Ruben Gallego<\/h2>\n<p>Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is set to make a special appearance at a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/paul-ryan-to-host-fundraiser-for-liz-cheney-amid-backlash-over-her-trump-criticism\/\" title=\"Paul Ryan To Host Fundraiser For Liz Cheney Amid Backlash Over Her Trump Criticism\">virtual fundraising event<\/a> for Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ), according to an invitation obtained by NBC News. Despite not formally endorsing either politician, Pelosi&#8217;s involvement in the event is a surprising move.<\/p>\n<h3>Support Gallego&#8217;s Campaign<\/h3>\n<p>The invitation suggests various donation amounts for attendees, ranging from $500 for guests to $6,600 for sponsors. &#8220;Friends&#8221; are encouraged to contribute $3,300, while supporters are recommended to give $1,000. The event will take place on Thursday, June 29, at 4 p.m. local time and 7 p.m. EDT.<\/p>\n<p>Pelosi&#8217;s decision to participate in the fundraiser is notable, as she typically avoids getting involved in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nancy-pelosi-to-attend-sinemas-2024-senate-rivals-fundraising-event\/\" title=\"Nancy Pelosi to join Sinema's opponent's fundraiser in 2024.\">left-leaning infighting<\/a>. While she has not endorsed many candidates for the 2024 elections, she did endorse Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) in February as a potential successor to Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), who will retire next year.<\/p>\n<h3>Crucial Seat for Democrats<\/h3>\n<p>The Arizona Senate seat is considered crucial for Democrats to retain their majority in 2024. Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ), who left the Democratic Party last year, has not yet announced her bid for reelection. However, Democrats are concerned that her potential candidacy could divide Democratic voters and give the seat to Republicans. Currently, Democrats hold a slim majority in the Senate.<\/p>\n<p>Other Democratic leaders, including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), have also refrained from endorsing a candidate in Arizona&#8217;s U.S. Senate race.<\/p>\n<h3>Clashes and Criticism<\/h3>\n<p>Sinema has clashed with Democratic leadership in the Senate multiple times since taking office in 2019. Her opposition to raising the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cbo-estimates-biden-plan-to-raise-minimum-wage-to-15-could-kill-almost-4-million-jobs\/\" title=\"CBO Estimates Biden Plan To Raise Minimum Wage To  Could Kill Almost 4 Million Jobs\">federal minimum wage<\/a> and certain taxes on corporations and the wealthy in the Build Back Better plan has drawn criticism. Gallego, who also opposed Pelosi for House speaker in the past, has accused Sinema of prioritizing the interests of Big Pharma and Wall Street over the people.<\/p>\n<p>The Washington Examiner has reached out to Gallego&#8217;s Senate campaign, Pelosi, and Sinema for comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) will headline a virtual fundraiser for Rep.
