Van Hollen: Pelosi Will Remain Speaker
Despite a growing chorus of Democrats who have expressed reservations about her leadership, Democratic Congressional Committee Chairman Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) said Thursday he believed that Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) will be Speaker in the next Congress.
Speaking at a breakfast hosted by the Christian Science Monitor, Van Hollen said Pelosi has been working hard to ensure Democrats retain the House on Election Day.
Pelosi “has an enormous reservoir of good will among the Democratic caucus,” Van Hollen said. He added that he is “confident that Nancy Pelosi will be the Speaker of the House.”
