Democrats nominate Rep. Nancy Pelosi for speaker, a show of strength that will be tested when the full House votes in January

Quote:
House Democrats, poised to take control of the chamber next year, met behind closed doors on Wednesday to nominate a speaker and choose other members of their leadership team.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) won her unopposed bid to be leader of the Democratic caucus. But her bid to become speaker again faces opposition.

The full House, including Republican members, will choose a speaker on Jan. 3. If Democrats win one uncalled race where their candidate is leading, they will have won 235 seats, meaning Pelosi can weather as many as 17 defections.

Yeah, that's wonderful! How's this "blue wave" working out? Not so good.

I'm confused. The Democrats want a youth movement, but yet the 4 people in the house leadership all have 1 foot in the nursing home. Also, their best candidate for president (Biden) will be 80 in 2021. Pelosi must be seriously threatening people to get them vote for her. I shudder to think what she said to Fudge. Probably threatened to have someone in her family murdered.

Who's gonna moderate the Democratic debates anyway? Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul, and Randy Jackson? Are they gonna play "You had a bad day" on MSNBC and CNN every time a candidate drops out of the race? :lol:
