Nancy Pelosi gets the support of Marcia Fudge in the run for the presidency of the House.

On Tuesday, at around 5.30 pm, after a bad press day for Ohio Representative Marcia Fudge, Democratic House Leader Nancy Pelosi announced that he would reinstate the Senate's Subcommittee on Elections. House Administration Committee. His new president is none other than Marcia Fudge, "a fervent activist of the right to vote of every citizen and the fact that all votes are counted as votes cast".

It would be difficult to assume the duties of chair of this new critical sub-committee and Speaker of the House of Representatives, a position for which Fudge, an active member of the anti-Pelosi faction of the Democratic Party of the House, was considering . At about the same time, Fudge's office released its own press release abandoning the other shoe.

"Chief Pelosi gave me the opportunity to create the file necessary to satisfy the Supreme Court decision in 2013. Shelby County c. Holderso that the protections of the Voting Rights Act are restored and improved, "reads Fudge's statement. "She also assured me that the most loyal voting group of the Democratic Party, black women, would have a seat at the table of decisions."

"I am now convinced that we will go forward together and that the 116^th The Congress will be a convention of which we can all be proud, "the statement added. "I am now joining my colleagues in supporting the Pelosi, Hoyer and Clyburn management team."

Fudge threw the sponge at the end of a day's work during which she learned how difficult it would have been to pitch a loudspeaker offer against Pelosi, with all the control that it attracted. The news was announced earlier in the day. Fudge had already written a leniency application on behalf of Lance Mason, the former Cleveland judge who had been found guilty of beating his wife of that time. He has since been arrested on suspicion of involvement in the death of his ex-wife, who is now his ex-wife.

Yes, time to take the subcommittee.

It is not finished. Pelosi still has a calculating problem on his hands before the presidential vote in January. Sixteen Democrats in the House issued a letter Monday stating that they were "determined to vote for new leadership," and several other people who do not sign letters have also pledged to do so. (Fudge, in particular, was not included in the letter.) According to the latest projections, Democrats are considering a margin of 16 votes in the House.

But even if the fight is not dead, it's a fatal blow for Pelosi's opponents in the caucus. Although they strove not to pose a direct challenge to Pelosi, hoping that a leadership race could flourish once she would have recognized that she would not could not get the vote, Fudge was presented as a popular alternative within the caucus that, usefully, retorted that it was only "whites" who were taking Pelosi. The vote in the caucus, which Pelosi is expected to win, will take place the week after Thanksgiving. Pelosi will then have another five weeks to eliminate as many dissidents as she needs. Do not be surprised if others quickly start looking for lifeboats.
