79? Jesus, we need some new blood at the top of the Democratic Party.
I love Steny, but he should take it easy. He could start by resigning his leadership position.
Joe Freakin’ Kennedy III
A normal illness for a 79 year old. Pelosi is 78. Clyburn is 77. This is exactly why the Democratic party needs new younger house leadership. These folks could be disabled by the routine illnesses associated with the aged at any time.
Is anyone willing to tell these senior citizens it is time to call it a career?
I would assume that Sanchez (49) or Lujan (45) would be “next in line,” but I’m also not certain how the Dems decide these things. They definitely need some new faces, though, that’s for sure.
Are there any members of the caucus who seem to be as adept as Pelosi at actually getting things done? Her continued leadership seems to be wholly dependent on her legislative and parliamentary competence, especially when compared to her GOP counterparts.
We don’t do a very good job, or any kind of job really, of grooming new leadership.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a good example of how it has to be done.
