Ed Perlmutter still hasn’t got a caucus vote. But he’s stopped pushing
Rep. Ed Perlmutter, the lead negotiator for a group of Democrats who pushed Speaker Nancy Pelosi to agree to limit her leadership tenure to four more years, is no longer pushing for the Democratic Caucus to adopt leadership term limits as part of its rules.
“We’re just letting it sit right now,” the Colorado Democrat said.
Last year, after Democrats won back the House in the 2018 midterms, Pelosi struck a handful of deals that helped secure the votes she needed to be elected speaker again.
One of those deals was an agreement she negotiated with Perlmutter to back his proposal to institute term limits on the top three Democratic leaders. Pelosi agreed to abide by the term limit herself, regardless of whether her caucus would eventually formally adopt the proposal into its rules.
Reps. Bill Foster of Illinois, Linda T. Sánchez and Gil Cisneros of California, Seth Moulton of Massachusetts, Tim Ryan of Ohio, and Filemon Vela of Texas were also party to the agreement.

So, Eddy thinks it’s time for him to sit in the Speaker’s chair when Nan is pushed out? Think again, Eddy. The Squad will run you down like road kill.
