In statement distributed by Pelosi's office, Rep. Marcia Fudge of Ohio, who was weighing a challenge to her for speaker, says she has dropped the idea. Will instead support Pelosi, Hoyer & Clyburn

1. Progress

This is like herding cats.

2. Thank you Rep Marcia Fudge.

Nailed that clubhouse door shut.

13. An embarrassing letter by Fudge supporting leniency for a judge who

Brutally beat up his wife and now is the main suspect of her murder has just surfaced.

This is the likely motivation for her seeking a lower profile

[Bfd]

17. ick.

Ya know, in the year of the smear campaigns & shocking revelations, I say lay it all out in the open.

Sigh ~

[grantcart]

18. Its really bad

I keep saying "I trust Pelosi" because she doesn't have any blind spots, always stays on message and is incredibly disciplined.

We are lucky to have her.

21. Fyi. There is another one circulating about Maxine Waters about a situation from yrs ago.

It chills me as to how it will be spun.
Considering the Committee she is about to chair. The one that will tear apart Trump financials.

I belive it concerns something she stated that was first reported on MSM.
she was repeating what they reported but got her in some dispute since it was sensationalism.
Sounds more innocent on her part and I will definately not jump on that campaign to ruin her.
Because considering she is a serious threat to Trump financials as the comittee chair, be sure it will be open season on all who try to get near the Trump mob.

No one is safe.

Perhaps names will be dropped & threats will be dealt with as the king rat gets cornered.
Buckle up & hang on to those you believe in.


Look what they did to Hillary. That is a typical day for the global mob hitmen

25. Yes for Pelosi appreciation. :) So Fudge wasn't a serious

contender. We suspected before and now have confirmed, just a negotiating move. Her potential "bid" for speaker wasn't supported by the black caucus, an indicator for sure. She's ranking member on a subcommittee after over a decade and wanted something more.

However, she went about it, perhaps she has earned it. Most of those freshmen who claimed they wouldn't vote for Nancy have abandoned their sacred campaign promises in return for preferences they haven't earned at all.

24. And, I guess Maricia is "feeling the love" Now..

Marcia Fudge, Toying With Speaker Run, Slams Nancy Pelosi

According to Fudge, “I don’t hate Nancy. I think Nancy has been a very good leader,” Fudge told HuffPost. “I just think it’s time for a new one.”
During the course of our interview, the former Congressional Black Caucus chairwoman made it clear she thinks Pelosi has not been a vocal enough advocate for African-Americans in Congress, she dismissed suggestions that Pelosi had led Democrats back to the majority, and she painted herself as equally liberal as Pelosi.

My concern about the caucus is the same concern I have about the country. Just as there is this undertone of racism in the country, there’s also that in our caucus.”

Fudge pointed to Pelosi’s refusal to endorse in the race for majority whip, a contest between the current No. 3 Democrat ― and CBC stalwart ― Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.), and Rep. Diana DeGette (D-Colo.).

“But she wants our endorsements?” Fudge said of Pelosi. “Who has she endorsed?”

“We’re not feeling the love,” she added.

3. There is ALWAYS talk of this one or that one

challenging someone for leadership positions. Every time.

I don't know why this is such a big thing this time. It is part of the game.

[brush]

19. It's a big deal because the #FiveWhiteGuys cabal was endangering Dem control...

of the speakership. After the caucus election for speaker there is also a floor election of the whole House. McCarthy will be the repug running for speaker.

Those clowns were screwing around and who knows if that possibility may happen with their foolish stance (ambitious really as Ryan has ambitions himself to be speaker).

[Bettie]

20. Still doesn't sound like they have enough support to

take it.

Are they really so stupid as to give it to McCarthy? I hope not.

5. Time for Seth Moulton and Tim Ryan to STFU

Finally. They desperately searched for someone who wasn't a white male and came up with Fudge. Glad to see she didn't fall for their bullshit.

[gratuitous]

7. Gee, that solid wall of principled opposition to Pelosi seems . . . wanting

It's almost like some grandstanding headline-grabbing back benchers, in concert with some professional media shit-stirrers, were just hopping about, crying for attention. Their mouths wrote a lot of checks that their asses couldn't cash.

9. What will Moulton tell his infant daughter?

"I'm sorry, my darling, but I couldn't stop a woman from becoming Speaker of the House."

[Me.]

8. Good News

[Demsrule86]

10. I called her today and voiced my displeasure over her actions.

I thought she was being used myself...glad she changed her mind. I really like her but this annoyed me.

A committee chair. This stuff is all poker.

22. Nancy Pelosi is a hardball-playing, take-no-prisoners badass

That is all.

[mcar]

27. That is all

[0rganism]

23. so this is over, right? no need for further bickering, yes?

much as the newsmedia loves to report on dysfunctional leadership among Democrats, it appears this round is over and we can all return to the standard pretend-Trump-is-qualified programming.

[spicysista]

26. Unity

[Takket]

28. so now that the insurrection had no candidate and no members............

can we officially stop this nonsense and get behind Pelosi?
