The vote was 46 -13? She never had a chance. Somebody is using sentiment against AOC. Many Dems have likely had enough from this troublemaker.
Maybe friends of Pelosi are pushing back.

Now that the Democrat machine doesn't need her, she's kicked to the curb.

She won in a district that a Democrat glass of water could have won and still managed to cost Democrats support.

Here's just the first of many, many power struggles within the new regime, one highly suspects.

46-13. I guess Nancy Pelosi’s position is secure.
