That was at the very bottom of the article at the link. Pelosi doesn't care if her house democrats run against her, as long as it works and they win the election and she gets the Speaker-ship back from it.
Moral: Don't trust house Democrats claiming to be against Pelosi, as Pelosi controls what gets voted on. A big enough loss and Pelosi wont even be minority leader.
Her penalty for the destruction she has wrought should be much more than just not being speaker. The penalty should be final.

Big smile.Thanks, I needed cheering up, sickoflibs. Because, here in the greater Metro "D" area, believe me, we know losses...Oh, oh, RedEye moment...The "D" knows losses like I know angry bosses, and here comes one now...
Pelosi is getting contributions from "fire Pelosi" attacks? I guess she quotes them in her fundraising efforts?
Nor, with her speakership on the line, does she object to Democrats in conservative districts appealing to their constituents by criticizing her. “I say go for it,” Ms. Pelosi said. She would counsel those vulnerable Democrats, “Just win your election.”
IOW, temporarily pretend you hate me so you can get elected to vote for me as speaker. This is a made-to-order anti-Dem house member ad (TV, radio, whatever). Conservatives, carpe diem!
I’ve been thinking Hoyer (if he wins, he’s in a tiny amount of danger himself) will be the minority leader no matter how large the minority.
As for the dems who say they are against Pelosi, they all voted for her.
