Can the Democrats go from "resistance" to "governing"?

The second version of Speaker Pelosi started today.   I agree with Colin Reed:  
House Democrats are about to find out that governing is harder than campaigning. Their majority is paved through 31 districts won by Trump in 2016 that flipped blue in 2018, many of which had resided in the GOP column for generations. These red districts are not fertile political ground for the deep blue policies pushed by progressives.  
Furthermore, many of these new members of Congress explicitly pledged to oppose Pelosi in order convinces voters of their electability – pledges that are about to be put to the test.
Now, these Democrats will have to vote on border security, raising taxes to pay for health care and so on.

It will be interesting to watch.
