Who will be Dem minority leader now ?

[Beachnutt]

anybody wanna guess ?

[Pachamama]

1. Clyburn?

With minority whip Hakeem Jeffries

[Beachnutt]

5. Good guess

you may be right...

[kimbutgar]

6. That would drive the racists crazy!

I hope that happens!

[bottomofthehill]

8. When the change occurs, it may be complete.

The Speaker, Mr Hoyer and Mr Clyburn may all be out.

[nycbos]

13. Jeffries

Clyburn is in his 80s. I don't think it will be him.

[onetexan]

14. Yup & was just mentioned on msnbc Steny Hoyer w follow Nancy & be a back bencher as well.

update: they just confirmed Hoyer also announced he w also not seek leadership.

[Samrob]

18. I believe he has already said he doesn't the top spot but does want to play a leadership role. nt

[SheltieLover]

2. I'd say Schiff, but he has said he might run for senate, so dunno.

I think Tiedrich would be great. Jk.

[onetexan]

16. Schiff would be my #1 choice, Jeffries #2

[Amishman]

23. Schiff is too confrontational, I'd want someone more diplomatic to help support Joe

We hold the Senate and White House, we need someone who can work the the Pubs to at least get critical things like the budget passed. (yes, I just gagged a little)

3. Minority Leader.

There is only one Speaker.
Or, the preferred, Democratic Leader

[Just A Box Of Rain]

4. There is no "minority speaker."

Hakeem Jeffries will replace Nancy Pelosi.

[quaint]

9. ...as Minority Leader

[honest.abe]

7. Sounds like it will be Hakeem Jeffries.

I hope so. He represents well the next generation of Democrats.

[BeyondGeography]

10. Seconded

eom

[Ninga]

11. Agreed.

[JohnSJ]

12. Hakeem Jeffries

[honest.abe]

15. Here he is..

19. Wow. 💙

[Sympthsical]

17. Jeffries has been leadership's pick for years

It's going to be him.

We're an oddly top-down directed party. That's what's been directed for quite some time now.

[W_HAMILTON]

21. "Bad things about Democrats"

Yes, who knew it actually takes work and effort and learning and experience to ascend to a position as important and crucial as Minority Leader (or potential Speaker)? You mean a member whining on Twitter about how we need a new generation of leaders isn't qualifications enough?

[Sympthsical]

22. I've just checked

And since I am intact on the bottom, I'm interested to know what physics shattering technique was used there to slide in that hand and make my mouth move with all those words I didn't say.

Should we write NASA about this?

[W_HAMILTON]

27. You implied that there was some grand conspiracy about how...

...our next generation of leaders will be voted in.

There's not.

Nor is it surprising that the next generation of leaders will be those that have put in the time and effort to learn from our current generation of leaders rather than just whining about them on social media.

[Nictuku]

20. I hope it is not Steny Hoyer

[lark]

25. He stood down as well, so no, not him.

[Nictuku]

30. I hadn't heard that. Good!

I'm so bummed Tim Ryan wasn't re-elected. He would be Terrific!

I know the Speaker does not have to be a member of Congress. Is this a pipe dream? (probably). He has the Gumption needed. He appeals to moderates as well as progressives (in my humble opinion)

[lark]

24. Hakim Jeffries is the name I've been hearing.

[mcar]

26. Hakeem Jeffries

[bdamomma]

28. Hakeem Jeffries

we need someone to kick ass!!!!! We have so many great choices. Raskin???? Schiff???? but he may go for Senator now, Eric Swalwell???

[Sogo]

29. I'd vote for Jamie Raskin

Edited to say: Eric Swalwell would be great, alsol

[Nictuku]

31. I would too

He has been a great leader.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

32. Hakeem Jeffires will likely succeed Pelosi as speaker
