House Democrats nominated Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) to another term as House Speaker on Wednesday, with no other representative competing for the post, and she must now prevail in a floor vote in January to officially retain the gavel.
Pelosi has served as House Speaker from 2007 to 2011 and again from 2019 to the present. Democrats also nominated House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer of Maryland and Majority Whip James Clyburn of South Carolina to additional terms.
The nomination comes after Democrats lost a string of House seats, which has considerably thinned the party’s majority. Republicans stand to gain as many as 13 seats once election results are finalized

Last I heard they were considering Hakeem Jeffrey (sp?), who is not Speaker material at all. Are that bereft of leadership talent or are they all scared to be the head of anything? Just a bunch of pathetic, useless trough-slurpers….

The squad will try to put more pressure on her,but other Dems are afraid of a wipe out in 2022.
She may not be able to keep them all in line.
They too an butt whooping this election.
Dems in energy districts won't want to go along.
Republican s will control 37 states, with redistricting coming up.
Ny will lose one or two seats.
Pa ,mi will lose seats
FLA and tx will gain seats

Can "lacking an alternative" possibly be so true as to yield only Pelosi?

Nothing like winning a seat nobody else wanted. She’s getting that gavel by default. The Democrat Party is a sorry mess.

In a party that claims such erudite powers of legislative, social, and economic policies and knowing what is best for our republic, they continue to scrape the bottom of the barrel.

If whoever tried to unseat her failed, that congressperson would have an office in the 3rd stall of the basement restroom and would chair the select subcommittee on janitorial services.

The fact that Democrats "lack an alternative" to Pelosi tells you how utterly bankrupt of talent they are. Pathetic.

Republicans won all 27 "toss up" seats, and also gained seats.
Picked up additional State house seats too.
And yet somehow Joe Biden is a historically better candidate, by NOT campaigning, than both Hillary and Barack?

Truly they could not do better, which is an indictment itself.

Am I the only one who thinks this is great and hysterical at the same time?
She sucks as a leader, ineffective, her teeth fall out of her mouth when she talks, and she’s an awesome poster child for the Dems. we couldn’t ask for a better speaker for the Dems!

I know where I would like to tell her top put that gavel.
Very little sunshine there.
It's funny all of those Democrats and they all like playing second fiddle to that old woman with dementia.

There must be some moderate democrats who know what is going on. Where are they? Is it time to leave the party that left you? As all normal people know, the only way Biden gets into the White House is by massive fraud. Do you really want this? Remember, you have to look at yourself in the mirror every morning knowing you and your party cheated. Nancy again - no wonder they had to cheat.

Where is the black caucus demanding that Shelia Jackson Lee or that other one, Mad Max be made speaker? What's wrong with those field hands? Oh, they already have a field hand at position number three.

I would like to see either Maxine Waters or Sheila Jackson Lee become House Speaker. SNL needs some new material.

If they tapped her - hard - with that giant freaking FYOU gavel she was swinging after they rammed through O-care, I'd be pleased.
