According to a report, Democrats are panicking, fearful that the COVID-19 pandemic could prevent Nancy Pelosi from being re-elected as House speaker despite Democrats holding a majority in the chamber.
Is this really possible? Well, let’s see.
While House members can vote by proxy due to emergency rules adopted in May to protect members from getting and spreading COVID-19, but, as The Hill reports, “the proxy-voting rule expires with the new Congress, requiring lawmakers to be in the Capitol in person if they want to participate in the Jan. 3 floor vote for Speaker.”
New rules governing the 117th Congress happen after the vote for speaker.

Fine. Make it trump.
Commmies in the Democrat party want Nancy out...
good grief...how stoopid
House members have to assemble in person to be sworn and to vote for speaker. Let's barricade all the doors from the outside and cut all the phone lines.
Don't like being cooped up, can't travel, can't go to a restaurant, can't work, can't see family? Yeah, me too.
I agree, then Cheatin Joe is declared unfit, the prostitute is declared an ineligible Anchor Baby and Trump becomes President!!!
There’s as much chance of that happening as there is of a GOP Senator finding his spine.
This has as much chance of happening as does Trump being president for the next 4 years... in other words, zilch.
Perhaps the photo shows what is wrong with D.C. and our national government. There’s a young Nancy Pelosi meeting Kennedy—who has been dead for well over half a century.
Dream on...
More likely the far left will get Nancy to agree to some far left things as a condition for their support.
An article from NPR? What else would you expect them to say but “Our team is winning! Go Team!”
Can’t they simply vote BY proxy to extend the proxy privilege? Of course they can!
The entire summer of mischief and now the blatantly stolen election with NO REPERCUSSIONS has proven they can and will do whatever they want.
Would the SCOTUS stop them?
Ha!
Not if there were threats of riots and such.
WHAT is stoopid? Please elaborate. Thank you.
...anyone that thinks a Republican will be SoH is nuts and probably stoopid.
Like it matters?
OK, I got it. Thanks.
