Schiff lays groundwork for run to replace Pelosi as Dem leadership shuffle looms
Fox News
House Democrats may face major change after the midterms if Speaker Nancy Pelosi steps down, and Rep. Adam Schiff and others are laying the groundwork to replace her.
"The top three Democratic leaders are all quite old," R Street Institute senior fellow for governance James Wallner told Fox News Digital. "I think there's a real demand inside the Democratic Party and the Democratic Caucus there in the House… for a new generation of leadership." Tyler Olson is a reporter covering the Senate for Fox News Digital.
Enter Schiff, age 62, who has emerged as a possible contender to replace Pelosi in a field that also could include Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., Democratic Caucus Chair Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., and others. Schiff is laying the groundwork for a run, a House Democratic aide told Fox News Digital, though that aide said it currently appears Jeffries has more support in the caucus than Schiff.
