Pelosi challenges unhappy Dems to block her bid for speaker
A defiant Nancy Pelosi challenged maverick Democrats Wednesday to produce a rival who could win enough votes to prevent her from becoming the House’s a new speaker.
“Come on in, the water’s warm,” Pelosi, D-Calif., told a reporter about her message to rebellious colleagues.
A handful of Democrats, arguing it’s time for a fresh leadership team, say unhappy lawmakers are signing a letter pledging to vote against Pelosi when the full chamber elects the next speaker on Jan. 3. Some said they already have sufficient support to block her.
“We’ve got enough to ensure that she cannot become speaker,” said Rep. Kurt Schrader, D-Ore.
