What about Clyburn?

I've read with interest about Ms Pelosi, whom I want as Speaker, but have not heard of James Clyburn from SC.

He was the third ranking member and part of the Congressional Black Caucus. His Fish Fry for Presidential contenders ranks with the Iowa Steak Fry and his integrity is impeccable.

Will he be part of the leadership team? I'm hoping so to offset the (nonsensical) Senator Graham as a fellow Carolinian and as a distinguished member of the House Leadership Team.

Any thoughts? Or even better, any news?

Pelosi has accomplished more than any other congressperson alive it's ridiculous how we let them demonize her

I'm wondering if Clyburn will be the number 3 person. I am not advocating him for Speaker
