I wouldn't think so because if the election is undecided she isn't speaker of the house.


The federal elections are not all or nothing. It is incredibly unlikely that more than half of the House elections would still be up in the air by 1/3. In fact, it is pretty good bet that all congressional elections would be completed by 1/3/21. Besides, there is no requirement that the full House be seated in order to choose a Speaker.

If there are enough House elections completed in time for the Democrats to have 218+ members seated on 1/3/21, Pelosi can and likely would be Speaker of the House after the new Congress is sworn in.

I think someone has previously pointed out it would go to Chuck Grassley.


It would be the President Pro Temp if there is no Speaker. Which could be Grassley or Leahy depending on the Senate elections

I get what you're saying here. Maybe I should have made my point more clear. I expect that if the elections continue on the route they're going now with all the fraud being exposed, many of these races will he contested, including hers. I'm gonna guess she won't be the next speaker.

Thanks for the post.
