Problem Solvers Dems urge Pelosi to publicly back three rules changes
By Emily Birnbaum - 11/26/18 12:00 AM EST
Nine Democratic members of the Problem Solvers Caucus are urging House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to back three rules changes as she aims to drum up enough support to take over the Speakership in the next Congress.
The band of Democrats have been threatening to withhold their votes unless Pelosi agrees to overhaul House rules according to their proposals, throwing a wrench into Pelosi's bid for the gavel.
Now, nine of them are urging Pelosi to publicly support three of their "Break the Gridlock" rules. Pelosi is set to meet with the group of Problem Solvers later this week.
The band of Democratic representatives include Reps. Josh Gottheimer (N.J.), Jim Costa (Calif.), Tom O'Halleran (Ariz.), Kurt Schrader (Ore.), Tom Suozzi (N.Y.), Daniel Lipinski (Ill.), Stephanie Murphy (Fla.), Vicente González (Texas) and Darren Soto (Fla.)
