Nancy Pelosi Gets Some Very Bad News – From Newly Elected Democrats

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is hoping to once again wield the gavel of the Speaker of the House, but Democrats just published a letter that has tossed some cold water on those aspirations. . .

Sixteen Democrats signed a letter that was publicized on Monday to oppose Pelosi for the speakership.

“Our majority came on the backs of candidates who said that they would support new leadership because voters in hard-won districts, and across the country, want to see real change in Washington,” the letter from Democrats read.

“We promised to change the status quo, and we intend to deliver on that promise,” the letter continued.

Sixteen members opposing her leadership is a serious threat because Pelosi needs 218 votes to seize the gavel – but Democrats only have 233 seats, so 16 members could tank her bid for the position. (Read more from “Nancy Pelosi Gets Some Very Bad News – From Newly Elected Democrats” HERE)
