      She's absolutely right about this but man does it read like mealy-mouthed punditry: Pelosi needs to go! (But not yet)https://twitter.com/ScottSloofman/status/1339188379779559426 …

      Her own modesty here was striking though—she basically said what is true, but what pols never say: “I’m not ready” to be in the leadership. I’d like to do a google search to see the last nationally prominent politician who used that phrase.

      Pelosi said she would step down from leadership in two years, no?

      Yeah, but the other point AOC makes -- that old guard has not groomed a new generation to replace them -- is also right and speaks to problems down the line.

          Agree basically—although it does look as if Jeffries is lined up to be the next Speaker. And, if not exactly “grooming”, that’s not an accident. He is whom Pelosi wants to succeed her. He’s not super young, but he’s certainly not old—he’ll be 52 in 2022.

          Let's not forget Pelosi's greatest sin: not restoring the congressional staff cuts Gingrich made in 1995. A lot of grooming work was done by career committee staff. Those staff have been replaced by lobbyists who don't care about the development of individual members of Congress.

          Both Biden and Pelosi have left the party with exactly one bridge to the future (Harris and Jeffries, respectively), and this seems like a very dicey way to organize succession.

          to be fair a number of heirs-in-waiting have ducked out of the House-- Rahm, Becerra, Lujan, maybe Ellison
