Anti-Squad Hakeem Jeffries tipped to take Dem House leadership – amid rumors she will step down from Congress and hand seat to daughter
Pelosi, 82, announced she’ll ‘address her future plans’ with speculation already having begun as to whether she’ll remain the leader of the Democrats
She has served in Congress since 1987 and on two occasions as speaker, is currently helping her husband recover from a home invasion and attack
President Joe Biden has asked Pelosi, a fellow Democrat, to remain in Congress and to continue holding a Democratic leadership role
The speaker has long been under pressure from some pockets of her rank-and-file to step down and make way for a new generation of Democratic leadership
If she were to resign, many think New York Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, the chair of the House Democratic caucus would be in line to take up Democrat leadership
While a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, Jeffries has often clashed with the so-called ‘Squad’ leftists and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
