Pelosi Has Support of Four-Fifths of Members Needed to Beat Tim Ryan
As of 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, Ryan has 12 endorsements to Pelosi’s 80
As of 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi had garnered public endorsements from at least 80 Democratic members — four-fifths of the total she needs to hold onto her leadership post.
The Californian, who has been the top Democrat since 2003, is facing a challenge from Ohio Rep. Tim Ryan, who had only 12 public endorsements as of 8:30 p.m.
The winner of the secret-ballot race will need to garner a simple majority of votes cast, which would be 100 if all 198 members of the Democratic Caucus for the 115th Congress are present to vote Wednesday.
Here’s how Pelosi and Ryan’s groups of supporters break down:
