Uh, runoffs in CA happen regardless of if a candidate reaches 50%.

Anyway, I'm guessing Pelosi wins. Jaffe seems like a nice guy so I guess I'll "endorse" him for now.

I was being facetious.

Are we even sure Pelosi will run again?  I believe she said she would have retired last cycle if Hillary had won.

Not sure how accurate this is, but the conventional wisdom is that she wants to prevent Steny Hoyer from ever being leader.

Stepping aside and just letting Tim Ryan take over would've had the same effect.

Pelosi's only real job at this point is to stand in the way of new leadership coming into power (in hindsight, Tim Ryan really should've been elected House leader), so I'm all for a primary challenge.

If she retired or lost Hoyer would become leader. Would you really want that over Pelosi?

How would Hoyer be leader if Ryan got elected?
