Speaker Nancy Pelosi's reign over the House Democratic Party is officially coming to a close, and she's passing the baton to a new generation of leaders. Meet some of the likely new leaders 👇
Those who have served loyally by her side for nearly two decades — Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and Whip Jim Clyburn — have said they are ready to step aside to allow for the new guard to ascend to power. That's given way to the rise of Reps. Hakeem Jeffries , Katherine Clark and Pete Aguilar .
Meanwhile Clyburn, the 82-year-old South Carolinian, plans to run for the assistant Democratic leadership position, Punchbowl News first reported. Clyburn, who serves with Jeffries on the Congressional Black Caucus, has long been supportive of Jeffries' ascension. Jeffries would be the first Black lawmaker in history — in either party — to be the leader of either chamber.Jeffries and Pelosi are close, but Jeffries hasn't built a strong relationship with the left-wing of his party. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hadconsidered trying to take Jeffries out by launching a primary challenge against him in the 2020 cycle.
"I think there is something about women’s leadership styles that are built on listening, building consensus and listening not just to people — our constituents — but also to my colleagues that come from different districts, have different concerns, different pressures than I do,"Clark has three children, which has motivated her interest in child care issues and her affinity for the needs of fellow lawmakers balancing work, life and new jobs.
