Will Nancy Pelosi Quit?
After the crushing defeat of the Democrats on Tuesday there are lots of speculation about Nancy Pelosi’s future. Often speakers retire after being evicted from the office. But if Nancy stays on as a Representative will she keep her leadership of the party?
From FoxNews here:
After Republicans dismantled the Democratic majority in the House on Tuesday, Democrats must decide whether to re-elect Nancy Pelosi as the top Democrat once the party takes its new minority position — and she must decide whether even to seek that role.
With the loss of so many key chairmen and moderate Democrats in Tuesday’s GOP onslaught, the Democratic leadership will face considerable upheaval.
But now that they have lost control of the House, the decidedly more liberal caucus has to decide how it wants to be led. If Pelosi decides to step down, or if lawmakers decide to remove her from the top of the food chain, it could touch off a leadership grab that may give Rep. Steny Hoyer, the present majority leader, a greater role. Or it could make way for another brand of leadership.
Some analysts say Pelosi and possibly other leaders will retire in the face of the huge losses and rebellion from some members.
I don’t think she will retire. And I don’t think she will give up power either. The remaining democrats are all hard liberals and Pelosi is of the same ideology. I can easily seeing them re-electing her as party leader. Anyone think she is going to quit?
No…. she’s like acid reflux. As soon as you think it’s gone and everything’s going to be OK, you puke a little in your mouth
