At least 20 House Democratic challengers have publicly rejected House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on the campaign trail, Politico reports.
“If Democrats win the House by a narrow margin, the 78-year-old leader could lose only a handful of lawmakers’ support and still secure the 218 votes needed to clinch the speakership in a floor vote.”
“Whether those statements translate into ‘no’ votes against Pelosi — when she’ll have enormous sway over new lawmakers’ committee assignments and other perks, and a presumably fierce whip effort on her behalf — is impossible to know.”
