More Democrats threaten to withhold support for Pelosi's House Speaker role

[orangecrush]

WASHINGTON - A group of nine Democrats threatened Friday to withhold support for Nancy Pelosi's House Speaker bid, creating a potential roadblock for the California Democrat who has been lobbying for weeks to get her old role back.


Pelosi was already fighting for support from a group of 16 Democrats who penned a letter, declaring they wouldn't support the minority speaker and instead called for new leadership.

The new group of nine Democrats from the Problem Solvers Caucus threatened to withhold support for Pelosi until she agrees to a list of demands that includes House rule changes that could potentially allow for more bipartisan legislation to pass.

2. Gosh, Maybe Their Bi-Partisan Approach Will Get Them A Con Speaker

after all, the Cons were so concerned by what the Dems wanted. So why not wreck things just as we have a chance to restore the harm.

7. Then on the 28th 240 - 9 Dems will choose their

Democratic candidate for speaker. In January, the 9 out of 240 Democrats will have a choice to join 195 Republicans in voting for another candidate, or whatever.

Nothing new here. Elections would be without purpose if we were ants. This reminds me of those on the left who either voted Trump or not at all rather than vote for America's first woman candidate for president.
