Group of Democrats Release Letter Opposing Pelosi as House Speaker

HeadlineNov 20, 2018

Sixteen Democratic congressmembers and congressmembers-elect released a letter Monday saying they oppose Nancy Pelosi’s bid to resume her role as House speaker in January. They write they are “committed to voting for new leadership in both our Caucus meeting and on the House floor.” Two of the letter’s signatories are in races that have yet to be called. Pelosi will need 218 votes in order to secure the House leadership position. So far, no challengers to Pelosi have been announced.
