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.

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(?)

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