Top Democrats in the House believe Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) will likely be ousted from leadership in favor of a younger and more inclusive lawmaker should Democrats reclaim the lower chamber in 2018.
House Democrats eager to see Pelosi replaced were heartened by Conor Lamb’s special election win in Pennsylvania, and see his disavowal of the minority leader as a blue print for a new wave of Democratic hopefuls running in traditionally red districts, according to Axios.
Rep. Joe Crowley (D., N.Y.) is reportedly seen as a prime candidate to succeed Pelosi due to his ability to work with both the older Democratic establishment and their younger, generally more progressive, counterparts.
Rep. Adam Schiff (D.,Calif.), the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, is also considered a potential successor, given the notoriety he’s gained from his work on the Russia investigation.(snip)
“If we’re going to take the majority, it’s going to be because we win districts like that,” Rep. Filemon Vela (D., Texas), a consummate critic of leadership, told Politico. “Running against Nancy Pelosi is going to help you a lot more than running with her.”
“I think everyone’s watching what Conor Lamb’s doing, and I hope they’re taking notes,” said Rep. Seth Moulton (D., Mass.).
Pelosi, who remains the Democrats’ most successful fundraiser, has reportedly changed her tact in response to rumblings about her replacement.
“She used to be retributional. Now she’s more inclusive,” one Democratic source told Axios.

I won’t believe until I see it. This woman understands how to hold onto power
Plus look at the replacement names...,stupid children think they will be able to jump over Stenny Hoyer
This shows has absolutely radical the DemoMarxists have become - even Pelosi is too conservative for them.
Doubtful. Democrats always march in lock-step. No matter how ridiculous the vote, they are like lemmings. No wonder many believe that one puppet master controls them all.
I can see why the dems want to oust her, but we should want her to stay.
“That surprised look you get when Littlefinger pushes you out the castle drop-hole.”
Very apt here.
Yeah, but if they stop? Pelosi is one of the biggest weapons the Republicans have to hold against them, and most of the Democrats know it.
Lol!!!
SMART MOVE by the Democrats - they are trying to prevent the Republicans from making Pelosi the poster-girl for every Republican campaign in the fall.
Hopefully we don’t take the bait and continue to plaster her picture EVERYWHERE between now and then.
True. But she knows where a lot of bodies are buried.
‘Rat fight!!!!
Lets start calling the dissidents “Trump democrats” who want a white male party leader
Yeah that works
“Inclusive” is hardly a a quality I’d associate with Democrats. More like divisive nasty hypocrites. Whoever replaces her will be a paragon of these qualities.
And Adam Schiff is regarded as more inclusive
Somebody is really pushing to elevate this white buckwheat...
Hmmm
I can see why the dems want to oust her, but we should want her to stay.
Another reason not to lose the house to the democrats.
How else will we get a laugh a day if Pelosi gets ousted
Yes, we need her to remain minority leader.
Tack, not tact. It’s a nautical metaphor. The editor had the day off over at NR
Notice how all the Dems are talking about Lamb’s WIN? Or did I miss something while I was sleeping? It hasn’t been decided yet, has it? But if you talk about the win, then it becomes reality for the sheeple, doesn’t it?
She’s not radical enough.
