The race to succeed Nancy Pelosi is already on.

I'm not sure what is up with this article and my computer, but I can't copy and paste. But it is a good article that is worth reading. It is about the battle to become part of the next generation of Democratic leaders, when Pelosi, Hoyer and Clyburn stand down.

for training wheels. We need our all experienced leaders to stay right where they are for the time being. Lets not take any chances at this crucial time. Please not now.

It is about what might happen in a couple of years when they eventually do step down.

the newbies on the mechanics of government, and leadership skills. I'd lioke to seee Pelosi lead at least unttil after the 2020 elections. I don't think the headline correctly stated the situation.
