House speaker Nancy Pelosi went into that pre-shutdown meeting in the Oval Office in early December on somewhat shaky ground with her own caucus. Pelosi left that meeting not just with her own position more secure but - thanks to an assist from Senator Chuck Schumer, who successfully goaded the president - with video of the president preemptively taking the blame for the shutdown.
