Two More Anti-Pelosi Democrats Flip

December 5, 2018 · 6:55 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Rep.-elect Haley Stevens (D-MI), who was one of 32 House Democrats that voted “no” in caucus to nominate Nancy Pelosi as the next House Speaker, told the Oakland Press that she will support Pelosi in the key January vote.

Said Stevens: “I’ve had the chance to sit down with her on a couple of different occasions. I was clear going into that vote with her and the rest of the leadership about where I would be. I was also clear with her that I wouldn’t be voting against her on the House Floor in January.”

Meanwhile, Rep.-elect Gil Cisneros (D-CA) writes on Medium that he too will support Pelosi: “While I maintain my call for new leadership, I refuse to jeopardize a Democrat being Speaker of the House and our Democratic legislative agenda.”
