The 2020 election was
historic for Republicans in the House of Representatives.
Republicans won
ALL 27 “toss-up” seats in the US House elections thanks to
President Trump’s historic landslide.
No Republicans lost reelection this year.
It wasn’t enough to take the House, but it’s enough to cause
Democrats some big worries about who will be the next Speaker of
the House.
With COVID concerns, Democrats are worried they won’t
have enough Democrats to the House chamber on January 3rd to cast
their votes for Nancy Pelosi.�
“Democrats could face a dilemma on Jan. 3 in which Pelosi
locks up the Democratic support to remain Speaker, but coronavirus
concerns — illnesses, quarantines or otherwise — prevent a
sufficient number of them from being in the Capitol to log their
votes.A failure of Pelosi to secure support from half the voting
members would, at the very least, throw the process into chaos. In
the Democrats’ nightmare scenario, the math could tilt so far in
the Republicans’ favor that it yields a GOP Speaker.“Let’s say, just theoretically, we had six or eight people
out with Covid and the Republicans have none. They probably could
elect [Kevin] McCarthy,†said Rep. John Yarmuth (D-Ky.),
referring to the House GOP leader.â€
That’s all right –
the majority of Americans don’t want Pelosi as Speaker
anyway.
