I personally didn’t care one bit that Harley Rouda was a former Republican and Kasich supporter. He’s running for the US House; his main function is to vote on anything Pelosi and the Dem leadership shoves on his desk. This applies to Ojeda as well. Perhaps if they were running for a higher position of power this might be an issue but otherwise it doesn’t matter.
This, unfortunately, is part of what's led to the degradation of our political system. Congressmen should actually be trying to represent their constituents well, not kowtowing to the party leadership. I have a gut feeling that the Dem majority in the House is going to be narrow enough that Pelosi's going to end up either not running for Speaker again or losing, if her ego decides to go through with it. And that's for the better.
