One of Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) privileges as House speaker is to distribute highly prized office space however she wants. One of her first orders of business has been to strip Vice President Mike Pence of a mostly ceremonial office gifted to him by former House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-MN).

According to a Tuesday NPR report, the first-floor office, prime real estate, was given as a sign of the synergy between Pence and Ryan and the other House Republicans. The vice president also has a standing office on the Senate side, which he uses when he visits Congress.

The office space is reportedly being redistributed to the White House legislative affairs team.

  2. “Snatches” ??

    Seriously?

    Makes it sound vindictive when really, the VP doesn’t need 2 offices in the same building…

  3. Love this lady! Tough, pragmatic and wields the office like a scalpel.

  4. Agreed. “Pelosi expels Pence” has a catchier ring to it if you’re looking for click bait, TPM.

  5. And eventually, his other office will go as well.
