Madigan suspended his campaign for the position - which he s held for all but two years since 1983, making him the longest serving statehouse speaker in U.S. history - on Monday after he failed to reach the 60 votes needed in the full Democratic caucus first vote. But he noted it was not a withdrawal from the race, potentially leaving the door open for him to reenter should other candidates not be able to garner 60 votes either.
“As I have said many times in the past, I have always put the best interest of the House Democratic Caucus and our members first, Madigan said. The House Democratic Caucus can work to find someone, other than me, to get 60 votes for Speaker.”

Your move, “the 19”
The “New Day” Caucus needs to put to bed, as ONE voice that the Speakership, as the 19 see it as one, is over.
It’s up to the 72 (plus Madigan) to remove folks who will be unable to get 60 from the conversation…
To the Black Caucus move specifically, and separately;
This endorsement also puts other possible candidates on notice that the Black Caucus now, and possibly later, are speaking with one voice, so the thought to peeling members away from this specific endorsement will be a heavy lift to the totality, and it’s leverage in all forms, with unity, one voice, they as a collective will be strong to that leverage, so why splinter and get less in any deal.
