House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) could once again see her speakership challenged following a lackluster showing of House Democrat candidates in Tuesday’s 2020 election.
The Hill reports:
Stung by their party’s disappointing showing at the polls Tuesday, two moderate House Democrats say they and other centrists are privately discussing a plan that was unthinkable just 24 hours earlier: throwing their support behind a challenger to Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). The two Democrats told The Hill on Wednesday that they were reaching out to their colleagues about backing one of Pelosi’s top lieutenants, Democratic Caucus Chairman Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), for Speaker. […] One of the two lawmakers who spoke to The Hill said a number of Democrats representing suburban and exurban districts had been talking about the need for a change.
Democrats representing suburban districts are said to be those who see the need for a shakeup of Democrat leadership.
“It’s time for Democrats to elevate a new generation of leadership in both the House and the Senate,” one lawmaker told the Hill. “Americans are clearly afraid of ‘socialism,’ want safe streets and neighborhoods, and to vote for people who they believe will help put more money in their pockets. While Democratic policies can adequately address those issues, our messaging mechanism clearly cannot.”
At least seven Democrats were defeated in House races last night.
When reached for comment about a possible bid to oust Pelosi, the speaker’s press representative said her focus is on the presidential election between President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden.
“Today is not about the race for Speaker. Today is about the race for the White House and ensuring that our Members and candidates in uncalled races have the support they need. That is our focus,” Drew Hammil told the Hill in an email.

The House is the most underreported story of the year.
She will win again if the Republicans don’t take the House!
They haven’t won the Houzr yet!
Covfefe!
CA or NY. Those are thr only places Dems want their leaders from.
Thanks for the first laugh I’ve had since yesterday.
Yes. Any Jihad Squad member would be ideal as speaker (as a GOP advertisement for 2022).
Well Gee!!! She is only 81 years old!
A FReeper made a post earlier today that made a case for the Republicans taking the House if trends continue as they are.
So she may be out anyway!
“”backing one of Pelosi’s top lieutenants, Democratic Caucus Chairman Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), for Speaker.””
From worse to WHAT? Isn’t there ONE democrat that doesn’t cause one to vomit?
AOC is going take Chuckie out in the next primary 2022
She'll win easily, then before her and silly gillibrand we will have two half brains in the senate.
Nanzi “Cryptkeeper” Pelosi will give up the gavel when it’s pried from her dry, gnarly hands!
I thought when she ran last time she told her caucus she’d only do it for a two year deal and that she wouldn’t run again.
So your saying if she runs she lied......what’s the chance????
I think her caucus will hold her feet to the fire. Plus, it looks as if the D’s will lose seats to the R’s - that generally doesn’t make running again in the cards. But we’ll see.
