Fox News has confirmed at least 17 House Democrats, including incumbents and incoming members, have signed on to a documet saying they will not support Pelosi on the House floor for speaker. A Democrat familiar with the effort says they are trying to add more names before the letter is publicly released.
If all those Democrats vote against Pelosi on the floor, Pelosi would not have the votes for speaker. To get the gavel, Pelosi will first need to pick up a majority of the Democratic Caucus in internal leadership elections, then go on to win an absolute majority of the House.
Politico reported that Pelosi and her allies are arguing that it’s important for a woman to be elected speaker.
“I think it would look ridiculous if we win back the House … we have a pink wave with women who have brought back the House, then you’re going to not elect the leader who led the way? No,” Florida Rep. Lois Frankel told Politico. “That would be wrong.”

Pelosi not getting Speaker would be a sign the Democrats are learning.
I'm counting on Speaker Pelosi. -
Definitely double down on the “she’s a woman” thing. Worked really well for Hillary.

I know a woman they could select

The Dems should stick to their principles and chose the Native American Lesbian if she announces her girlfriend is a tranny who is bisexual. and identifies with being black.
