Democratic Leadership Elections

Plus, being Speaker of the House is a job that is historically unpopular, especially recently. The polarization doesn’t help one bit. I don’t think Lee would want to tarnish her image (although very few Americans know her).

The only progressive outside of the list that I can think of saying they wouldn't support Pelosi is Tlaib during the campaign season. But I haven't seen her railing against Pelosi after her victory. Maybe she's gonna vote for her now.

Really wish someone would take down Hoyer and Clyburn. Who's going to be Caucus Chair? That's my question.

Is anyone running against Sanchez yet?

She's not running.

I think this will be the line-up:

Speaker - Nancy Pelosi (CA)
ML - Steny Hoyer (MD)
MW - Jim Clyburn (MS)
Assistant ML - Ben Rey Lujan (NM) or David Cicilline (RI)
Caucus Chair - Barbara Lee (CA) or Hakeem Jeffries (NY)
Caucus VC - Katherine Clark (MA) or Peter Aguilar (CA)
DCCC Chair - Cherie Bustos (IL) or Denny Heck (WA) or Suzanne delBene (WA) or Sean Maloney (NY)

Policy Committee co-chairs: Ted Lieu (CA), Debbie Dingell (MI), Adriano Espillat (NY), Matt Cartwright (PA) or John Garamendi (CA)

I think the Barbara Lee/Jeffries race could be tight. Although we need some younger voices in the caucus, I'm rooting for Barbara Lee in this contest because I don't want Jeffries to get the upperhand against my preferred candidate.

Minor correction: Clyburn is from SC.
