A group of House Democrats are trying to stop Nancy Pelosi from becoming speaker next Congress. It’s not clear at this point whether they’ll be successful.
They claim that it’s time for new leadership, after Democrats won a majority on a message of change. Fair enough. Pelosi has been in Congress since the 1980s. Some members are tired of the same leadership. (Polling indicates that a number of voters feel that way.)
Speakers, though, have almost always had many years of experience. CONT.
