Spanberger also doesn't appear to be budging either after meeting Pelosi, she's a hard no vote on the floor.
Spanberger strikes me as someone who could potentially become speaker in the distant future.
The Speaker should never be from a district that is remotely competitive. They're bound to become unpopular both in their districts and nationwide. Same for the Senate leader. Even if her district was shored up in redistricting, it could easily still fall in the next red wave. Any leader should be guaranteed to win by at least 20 points even in the most unfavorable political environment imaginable. Electoral concerns shouldn't even be on their radar at any point.
Paul Ryan was from a (somewhat) competitive district.
