A bloc of 16 House Democrats officially released a letter Monday declaring they will not support Nancy Pelosi’s second bid for speaker, CBS News reports. Tim Ryan, D-OH Seth Moulton, D-MA Ed Perlmutter, D-CO Kurt Schrader, D-OR Kathleen Rice, D-NY Filemon Vela, D-TX Brian Higgins, D-NY Bill Foster, D-IL Stephen Lynch, D-MA Linda Sanchez, D-CA Jim Cooper, D-TN Jeff Van Drew, D-NJ Joe Cunningham, D-SC Max Rose, D-NY Anthony Brindisi, D-NY Ben McAdams, D-UT Roll Call: “However, two of the signees — Ben McAdams of Utah and Anthony Bridnisi of New York — are in races that have yet to be called.” “Counting only those races that have been called, there will be 232 Democrats next year, meaning Pelosi can only lose 14 of them in a floor vote for speaker and get to 218.”
