RLLD 3,455 Posted November 19, 2018 Sixteen dissident Democrats said Monday that they will vote to deny Rep. Nancy Pelosi another stint as House speaker, a show of defiance that puts her opponents on the cusp of forcing a seismic leadership shake-up as their party prepares to take the majority. Their pledge to oppose Pelosi (Calif.) both in an internal caucus election Nov. 28 and a Jan. 3 floor vote, delivered in a letter sent to Democratic colleagues, comes as Pelosi has marshaled a legion of supporters on and off Capitol Hill to make her case. But her opponents said Monday that they are convinced that it is time to select a new leader. https://www.washingtonpost.com/powerpost/rep-degette-drops-bid-for-no-3-job-in-house-leadership/2018/11/19/50462ebc-ec16-11e8-96d4-0d23f2aaad09_story.html?utm_term=.732dfc0dd543 This seems amicable enough, but do we potentially get something even worse?

RLLD 3,455 Posted November 28, 2018 https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/28/politics/pelosi-speaker-nomination/index.html Washington (CNN)The calls from wealthy Democratic donors, influential party bosses and long-time supporters alike are coming in this week to Rep. Kathleen Rice, the New York Democrat who's trying to mount a coup against Nancy Pelosi. And they all carry a similar message: Get behind Nancy Pelosi. This is becoming pretty fractious, and I wonder how the party handles it whether she wins or loses. It makes me think back to the TEA party efforts to do essentially the same thing to the Repubs. :popcorn: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RLLD 3,455 Posted November 28, 2018 House Democrats voted overwhelmingly Wednesday to nominate Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to the Speakership in a 203-32 vote. The outcome was no surprise despite an entrenched rebellion from insurgent lawmakers who want changes to Democratic leadership. Pelosi was running uncontested and enjoys widespread support within the liberal-heavy caucus she’s led since 2003. The 32 votes against her were fewer than the 63 votes won in a 2016 contest for minority leader by Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio), who ran against Pelosi at the time. https://thehill.com/homenews/house/418653-democrats-overwhelmingly-nominate-pelosi-as-speaker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
