AP- November 15, 2018, Rep. Moulton ramps up opposition to Nancy Pelosi as speaker


BOSTON (AP) — U.S. Rep. Seth Moulton is ramping up his opposition to Nancy Pelosi as the next House speaker as Democrats prepare to formally retake the chamber in January.

The Massachusetts Democrat is instead pushing Rep. Marcia Fudge for the post.


Seth Moulton '100%' Confident Nancy Pelosi Can Be Defeated In House Speaker Election

The Pelosi detractors are circulating a letter and trying to accumulate enough signatures to showcase the breadth of the Democratic opposition to Pelosi. The strategy is this: Show that the California Democrat lacks support after new and current members commit to voting for another candidate on the floor. At that point, they hope, Pelosi will see the writing on the wall, step aside and allow new candidates for the speakership to emerge.

Wow, it's an avalanche. Didn't Moulton try to get rid of Pelosi as leader? Yeah, big, big pickup for the anti-Biden folks.
