First Read: “By the way, for Pelosi, there are some ways around the current Dem opposition to her regaining the speakership. For one thing, some new and old members might vote against Pelosi in the closed-door caucus meeting on November 28 – where she needs only a simple majority from her own party – and still vote for her on the floor on January 3, when she needs a majority of ALL members to become speaker.”
“Also on January 3, Pelosi opponents could vote ‘present,’ reducing the magic number she needs to capture a majority.”
