Republicans are eager to regain control of Congress so they can push Nancy Pelosi out of her position as House Speaker. While Democrats don’t want to lose their grip on Congress, some of them aren’t so hot on Pelosi either,
Roll Call reports.
More than 10 moderate Democrats in the House have declined to offer public support for her. That includes Reps. Bobby Bright, Ala.; Jim Marshall, Ga.; Gene Taylor, Miss.; and Walt Minnick, Idaho.
“I would prefer a conservative Democrat, a Blue Dog Democrat like myself,” the freshman Bright told Roll Call. “If that doesn’t happen, then I will vote for who I think will allow me to represent my constituents the best.”
