Top Democrats in the House believe Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) will likely be ousted from leadership in favor of a younger and more inclusive lawmaker should Democrats reclaim the lower chamber in 2018.
House Democrats eager to see Pelosi replaced were heartened by Conor Lamb’s special election win in Pennsylvania, and see his disavowal of the minority leader as a blue print for a new wave of Democratic hopefuls running in traditionally red districts, according to Axios.
Rep. Joe Crowley (D., N.Y.) is reportedly seen as a prime candidate to succeed Pelosi due to his ability to work with both the older Democratic establishment and their younger, generally more progressive, counterparts.
Rep. Adam Schiff (D.,Calif.), the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, is also considered a potential successor, given the notoriety he’s gained from his work on the Russia investigation.(snip)
“If we’re going to take the majority, it’s going to be because we win districts like that,” Rep. Filemon Vela (D., Texas), a consummate critic of leadership, told Politico. “Running against Nancy Pelosi is going to help you a lot more than running with her.”
“I think everyone’s watching what Conor Lamb’s doing, and I hope they’re taking notes,” said Rep. Seth Moulton (D., Mass.).

“She used to be retributional. Now she’s more inclusive,” one Democratic source told Axios.

Now i am concerned the Never Trumpers are pushing the Dems to take the House in order to remove Trump .
Is Ryan and McConnell behind this Uniparty plan .
They hate Trump and there Globalist owners are still ticked off about TPP and Global warming scam being killed off .
How any old school Democrats can still support the party is mind boggling.
Lamb proved only one thing and that is the Demorats can only win an election by using Conservative policy’s .
Adam Schiff could be even worse than Nancy. How about these new inclusive moderates the keep talking about but I’ve yet to see.
I hope not!
Are they trying to bribe Repubs to vote Dem to get rid of her?
Games of Thrones—ah, the “inclusive” and “progressive” ones at work! :-)
Agreed. This is a lie to sell Democrat candidates.
