Group of Democrats to vote against Pelosi's bid as House speaker

A group of 16 Democrats released a letter Monday declaring they would not support Nancy Pelosi's bid for House Speaker. She needs 218 votes, or just over half of the House, to get the position. CBS News political correspondent Ed O'Keefe reports.

It's not just about new leadership. It's about corporate/corrupt Democrats vs. those who want to act on behalf of the American PEOPLE.

How is she gonna be speaker when she can barely speak anymore, did you see her on Colbert a few weeks ago?

[rahmanmabra]

The reason why people don't want Nancy Pelosi because Trump has said she he wants to work with her he would get her the votes thats needed for her to be speaker that should raise a couple eyebrows Nancy Pelosi's job is done it's time to move on to somebody younger

There needs to be term limits .plain and simple.

[sonsaraeronnow]

She should respect what the BLUE WAY has accomplished and gracefully step down. Shame on her if her ego drives her. The country needs fresh representation not same ole old stuff. Come on Nancy do the right thing.

TULSI GABBARD FOR SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE

[lightningdriver]

She made eleven million dollars on what amounted to congressional insider trading a few years ago and no one so much as peeped. That old creep needs to get out of the way--her day is done.

[marvn]

They seriously need to be voted out off office. Some of these congress people are a joke, an embarrassment.

[TheStevengauna]

The OLD Guard will never relinquish its power...NEVER.

[pageturner]

The President want Nancy to be the Next Speaker, because he knows he can Make deals with her, just hope Nancy doesn't give Away the Store.

[jaridkeen]

I want that young Democrat Socalist Millennial woman to be speaker! Free Healthcare!

[donHooligan]

*Get Involved.*

[TheChristopher]

And she is still here. They dont hsve the power to get one of their own out.

Say what you will. Nancy's memory is still intact. She can't remember the last time she forgot something.

[cedricmccutchen]

Yes its time for her to step down. I like her but its time for the younger dems to step up

[drummer]

So what! Let em vote and the chips fall where they may. Much to do about nothing.
