Tim Ryan (D) OH-13 was not on the list. He has now proven to be a Blowhard.

I think the Dems who voted against or abstained are in b/l purple states and they’re just playing the game of looking mainstream rather than liberal. Gotta play to your district.

For sure Conor Lamb was given permission to vote no as a vote for Pelosi would have made holding on to this seat problematic.

I suspect that’s true for most of ‘em on this list.

ALthough legal, I can’t see how a sitting senator could also be Speaker of the House. Maybe they expected her to step down from the Senate?
