Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Sunday that she rejects the socialist ideology recently embraced by the left wing of her caucus and claimed that it does not represent a consensus position within the Democratic party.

Tuition-free higher education, Medicare-for-all, and support for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal have all emerged as early litmus tests.
