Speaker Nancy Pelosi will stay until at least after the midterm elections, extending her nearly 20-year run as the House's top Democrat after she turns 82 and, perhaps, beyond.
That's my point though: nobody seems to be able or willing to step up...which is a bit revealing to me. We can laugh at the Gerontocracy and how obviously not competent Pelosi is but even if they're critical of her I'm not sure how much anybody whose in a position to replace her actually really wants to do so. She's a bit of a convenient excuse to point to when we can't have nice things.
