Speaker Nancy Pelosi just announced she will step down from Democratic Caucus leadership but will stay in the House. She gave one of the most powerful and moving farewell speeches I have ever heard.
Please share widely!
Reality-based commentary on politics.
“The hour has come for a new generation to lead the Democratic Caucus.” Speaker Pelosi
Nothing against them, but Hoyer and Clyburn should follow suit to allow a complete generational shift all at once.
Leader Hoyer has announced he will NOT seek elected leadership but will remain in Congress.
Whip Jim Clyburn said: “I look forward doing whatever I can to assist our new generation of Democratic Leaders which I hope to be Hakeem Jeffries, Katherine Clark and Pete Aguilar.” ..
New House Democratic Leadership team expected to be:
#1 Hakeem Jeffries (NY) — Leader
#2 Katherine Clark (MA) — Whip
#3 Pete Aguilar (CA) — Conference Chair
GO BLUE !!!
My new nickname for Nancy Pelosi is the “Grey Eminence”– a powerful decision-maker or advisor who operates ‘behind the scenes’, or in a non-public or unofficial capacity.
