| Description | Enough newly elected and incumbent House Democrats have expressed opposition to returning the speaker’s gavel to Rep. Nancy Pelosi to make things interesting. It may be unlikely, but the possibility exists that they can persuade enough Democrats to support an alternative in next month’s party caucus vote or, if that fails, deny Pelosi a victory on the House floor.
But any serious attempt to oust Pelosi would be brutal and divisive, potentially harming the ability of Democrats to maintain a unified front against the Trump administration. Moreover, Pelosi is one of the most ruthless and effective politicians of her generation. Not only should critics worry about the consequences of losing to her, they should also worry about the consequences of replacing a skilled, experienced tactical leader with an amateur. |
