Nancy Pelosi Reelected Speaker Of The House

[Swordsmyth]

After quashing a nascent leadership challenge late last year and successfully courting most of the House's incoming freshmen - including many members of the Dems resurgent progressive wing like Bronx Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez - Nancy Pelosi has been re-elected Speaker of the House, making her the first lawmaker to ever serve two non-consecutive stints in the position.

Following a rousing nominating speech by Brooklyn Congressman Hakeen Jeffries, who declared that House Democrats are "down with NDP" [Nancy D'Alesandro Pelosi], the speaker vote began. With 431 members present, to win the speakership, a contender would need a simple majority of 216, meaning Pelosi could lose 18 Democrats and still make it to 217, according to CNN.

Only 16 Democrats signed a letter saying they would oppose Pelosi. Two of these include newly elected representatives including New York Rep. Max Rose and Virginia Rep. Abigail Spanberger, who flipped Republican districts partly due to their promises to oppose Pelosi.

Rep. Liz Cheney, the new chairwoman of the Republican caucus, nominated Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, and most Republicans voted for him.

Scary how she'll be president if Trump and Pence were to die.

Only 15 Dems did not vote for her , 12 of them voted for people about as bad . Three abstained . Dems are bootlickers or they share her views .

Communists always unite , that is why the other american parties can never overcome the advances .

Jim Jordan voted for sleezy deep state McCarthy?

He wasn't going to win and if he ever wants to get any of the sheeple Republicans to vote for him for speaker then he needs to look like a team player.
