Here are the four Democrats who could replace SpeakerPelosi
Whether or not she bows out of the running to remain the No. 1 House Democrat, a perch she held for nearly 20 years, a handful of Democrats have been positioning themselves either to replace her or climb the ladder to higher leadership roles within the caucus.
Leadership elections are slated for Nov. 30. Here are four Democrats who have been speculated to vie for her role pending her decision.The chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, which makes him the fifth-ranking House Democrat, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries is seen as a rising star among House Democrats and is one of the younger members in leadership. He is also seen as a front-runner to be the minority leader, particularly given that Rep. Adam Schiff has bowed out.
Jeffries, asked if he’s spoken to Pelosi since last night’s statement: “I’m looking forward to hearing what the speaker has to say, either in the whip meeting or later on this afternoon.”Serving as assistant speaker, Rep. Katherine Clark has effectively been in training for a higher leadership role for some time. She has been speculated as a contender either to rise to minority leader or another top-ranking slot in Democratic leadership.
