Nancy Pelosi, one of the strongest Speakers in recent history, is today back representing the 11th district of California in the House. She’s been replaced as Speaker by Kevin McCarthy from the 20th district of California, who will be one of the weakest Speakers in history.
@rbreich Pelosi was an enduring Speaker, owing mostly to her *fundraising* prowess. But I can't think of any politician who's presided over as many electoral disasters for her party as her.
