Rep. Brian Higgins (D-NY) “reversed course and said he will support Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi to be the speaker of the House, delivering a devastating blow to a weakening rebellion in the ranks that aims to oust her from the top job in the incoming House of Representatives,” the Buffalo News reports.

“Higgins said he decided to support Pelosi after she agreed to rank two of his top priorities among the new Democratic House’s priorities. He said Pelosi agreed that Democrats will advance a major infrastructure bill early in the next Congress, and that Higgins will be able to take the lead as House Democrats also work to pass his proposal to allow people to buy in to Medicare at the age of 50.”
