    WASHINGTON, Nov 17 (Reuters) - Nancy Pelosi, the trailblazing Democrat who as the first woman U.S. House of Representatives speaker shepherded landmark legislation and led two impeachments, said on Thursday she will give up her leadership role a day after Republicans secured control of the chamber.

    It seems like the reps @houseofrepresentatives have been given the jab and now they’re nonhuman like all in the sunken place. This is also me finding out.

    This may sound crazy but Hakeem Jeffries may take over. Clyburn was the #2 guy. But my guess is he's too old and they wanted 1. young blood and 2. someone to get blacks on board with symbolism.

    I have heard of him but if the Democrats do not select anyone that will be a maverick. He's already sold out if they want him.

    Rep. Hakeem Jeffries welcomes Bloomberg to ‘more the merrier’ Democratic presidential race

    Rep. Hakeem Jeffries once led the fight against Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s signature “stop and frisk” policing policy.

    But the Democratic rising star from Brooklyn says he’s now willing to give the billionaire a second chance as a presidential hopeful.

    “The more the merrier,” Jeffries told the Daily News Editorial Board on Tuesday. “His entry into the race, from my standpoint, is a welcome development, because he’s got a track record to run on.”
