Schiff lays groundwork for run to replace Pelosi as Dem leadership shuffle looms
If House Speaker Nancy Pelosi steps down after midterms, it would trigger first open election for the top House Democrat in two decades

By Tyler Olson | Fox News


Rep. Adam Schiff is laying the groundwork for a run at the top House Democratic leadership spot should it be vacated by Speaker Nancy Pelosi after the midterms, as a potentially crowded scramble for the top spot is starting to take shape.

Pelosi, D-Calif., has not publicly stated that she would step down as the House Democratic leader whether Democrats keep or lose the majority next week. However, Pelosi has been in charge of the Democratic caucus for two decades, and an increasingly progressive caucus appears hungry for new blood at the top.

"The top three Democratic leaders are all quite old," R Street Institute senior fellow for governance James Wallner told Fox News Digital. "I think there's a real demand inside the Democratic Party and the Democratic Caucus there in the House… for a new generation of leadership."

Enter Schiff, age 62, who has emerged as a possible contender to replace Pelosi in a field that also could include Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., Democratic Caucus Chair Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., and others. Schiff is laying the groundwork for a run, a House Democratic aide told Fox News Digital, though that aide said it currently appears Jeffries has more support in the caucus than Schiff.

One thing is for certain.  Someone will move past Jim Clyburn on the ladder.

Hoyer becomes Minority Leader.
Katherine Clark becomes Minority Whip.
Clyburn becomes Caucus Chairman

The Northeast and West Coast white limousine liberals will screw over Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, D-S.C.  They take African-American voters in the South for granted.

Won't be the first time either.

I hope Pelosi goes clawing and screaming in a full scale nuclear war for power, and Clyburn gets a full education of the value of a black man in the Rat party.

Wouldn't that be something to see, the Rat minority leader banned from committee seats.
