House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has cut a deal with a small group of Democrats calling for major rules changes next year, according to two Democratic sources familiar with the discussions.
“It’s a done deal,†said one aide.
Nine Democrats in the bipartisan, 48-member Problem Solvers Caucus had vowed to withhold their support for Pelosi — or any other Speaker nominee — unless the candidate commits, in writing, to certain changes in House rules aimed at empowering rank-and-file lawmakers and breaking partisan gridlock.
Unveiled earlier in the year, the group’s rules package consists of 10 proposals designed to ease the passage of popular bipartisan bills that, in recent years, have frequently been ignored.
