Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has promised that the 117th Congress will be her last term at the top of the House Democratic Caucus, leaving New York Rep. Hakeem Jeffries as the front-runner to replace her.
As part of a deal with a group of Democrats who opposed her return to the speakership in 2019, Pelosi agreed that she would serve a maximum of two more terms in the position. Although she has signaled a willingness to renege on the agreement, many Democrats believe that they will have a new leader in 2023.
Jeffries is often mentioned as the next head of the caucus. The number five Democrat in the House, Jeffries would make history as the first black leader of a party in the lower chamber. Majority Whip James Clyburn, who is also black, previously ruled out a run for the top position.
“I think it is very important and would have no problem saying that, if I had a crystal ball, I would want the leadership to be reflective of this wonderful democracy in America we live in,” Congressional Black Caucus chair and Ohio Rep. Joyce Beatty told The Washington Post. “Certainly I would like to be able to say that I was part of the process that had the first Black American to be speaker of the U.S. Congress.”
How do we help her to not get re-elected in CA?
That would be equally important!
Pelosi is being OUSTED Not a Retirement !!!! Another LIE

It is not the race or the sex that should determine the position but the best qualified and that should be so with any vacancy. The record of the individual should be a beacon to the job.
