Shes facing a challenge from ohio representative tim ryan who comes from an area with working class people, more similar to many of the people who voted for donald trump in this last election as democrats try to reposition themselves for two years from now for the midterm elections. Mick no mistake thats what this is all about and whether or not the democrats feel they need new leadership to make gains in the house. Pelosi promised about expected about 25 more democrats. So far theyve picked up about six seats. Still some districts, believe it or not, that are still counting. Its not where they wanted to be. The central question seems to be can a big city liberal democrat appeal to many of those rural working class voters who were such a force in this last election, or are they more attracted to someone like tim ryan. One important thing here, nancy pelosi raises a lot of money for democrats, 141 million in this last election cycle. She goes away, some of that faund raising could go away as well.
