Pelosi Reaches Deal to Become Speaker

December 12, 2018 at 6:17 pm EST By Taegan Goddard 14 Comments

"SNIP...

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) cleared a major hurdle in bid to be House Speaker, reaching a deal with Democratic rebels that includes stepping aside by 2022.

In a concession, the California congresswoman will also support a three-term limit for the top three House Democratic leaders. That means she would step aside no later than 2022 as party leader.

Although she'll be 82, so she'll probably be done then, regardless.

GO NANCY.

She has a lot on institutional knowledge and is very successful. It makes sense for the Democrats in Congress to start grooming the younger members to keep the party viable and adapting over the years.
