The future leadership of the House Democrats. Today, Pelosi pretty much confirmed that this is likely her last time leading the caucus. So, who replaces her? Frankly, I'm not sure I'm crazy about any of the names mentioned in the link because they all seem to be Pelosi-lite.

Whay does the future hold for House Dems?

Analysis: The end of the Pelosi era is in sight

I don't know anything about her, but Katherine Clark is the assistant Speaker.

She could be groomed into the position. Seems like a smart choice.

I would've liked to see Richmond pursue a leadership role had he remained in the House.

I'd be against any of the extreme progressives. I'd like to see somebody like Schiff or Jeffries. Maybe Tim Ryan. Radicals from either side are best left in the house chamber and not in party leadership.

Why do you think so? I'm curious. If we need radical change, why not put a "radical" in charge? Who would you consider radical?

Why? If the Democratic party is supposed to be this circus tent of different people, why shouldn't they be in leadership? I'm not just talking progressives either.

Pelosi needs to call better plays. The democrats ground game is almost non-existent. They need to work the ground game more. You win and lose in the trenches.
