Pelosi pushed for a contested Dem convention that would’ve been political suicide. Yeah, that’s just what we needed more Dem circular firing squads! Pelosi was a remarkable political operative and fundraiser, but she was wrong about that. Maybe it’s time for HER to step down.

Well, she has stepped down. If Dems get the majority back, Hakeem will be the Speaker.

She might have ‘it needs to be a man’ ingrained (due to tradition) - and she’s likely also thinking abt her legacy…. (Maybe setting up Schiff or Newsom?). Have heard she and Feinstein would try to block Harris - who knows if there’s anything to that…. But could be a woman thing. Pelosi is only human… I actually don’t think she’d be that petty if a Dem victory was at stake - but no one really saw this D excitement coming(?)
