Crowley unlikely to challenge Pelosi as Speaker if Dems take House

BY MALLORY SHELBOURNE - 04/08/18 09:47 AM EDT

House Democratic Caucus chairman Joe Crowley (N.Y.) said Sunday he does not expect to challenge House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) for the speaker position should Democrats win the majority in November.

Crowley said he “would wait and see” what happens in the midterm elections before running to replace Pelosi, who formerly served as the House speaker, should she step aside.

“But if Nancy Pelosi stays, I don’t see a scenario by which I would challenge her for that position,” Crowley told “Fox News Sunday.” Crowley said he is focused on flipping the House back to Democratic control in the upcoming midterms.

“I want to be the best chair of the Democratic Caucus I possibly can be,” he said.
