back to meritocracies, nancy pelosi will not be minority leader in the next congress. it's the end of an era.
i hope someone as competent as she's been can replace her. the way she's wrangled the undisciplined democrats is impressive.
steny hoyer is her second in command, but is older than her, and the party needs new blood.

eta: ok, steny hoyer just said he's out. open race!

eta, later: who is hakeem jeffries?

In an interview with the Atlantic last year, Jeffries described where he fit into in today’s political landscape, saying, “I’m a Black progressive Democrat concerned with addressing racial and social and economic injustice with the fierce urgency of now.” He added, “There will never be a moment where I bend the knee to hard-left democratic socialism.”
