‘They’re going to be in for a rude awakening’: Young Dems ready for post-Pelosi shake-up
October 23, 2022 | Kevin Haggerty
Should the anticipated red wave arrive propelling Republicans into control in Congress, Democratic leadership may be struck with two big losses as insiders suggest “they’re going to be in for a rude awakening.”
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has held the top spot for Democrats in the lower chamber since 2007 and has touted “experience” as a driving factor maintaining the status quo with her, 82, Majority Leader Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD), 83, and Majority Whip Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC), 82, in charge as other members call for “new blood.” As the midterms close in and others test the waters ahead of the 118th Congress, some in the caucus contended whether they stay or go, the change has already begun.
Speaking with NBC News, one Democratic lawmaker said, “I think [Hoyer and Clyburn] do try to stick around, but the paint has dried on the generational-change decision. If people don’t see that, they’re going to be in for a rude awakening.”
