Politico Playbook: Beatty Calls for Democratic Unity
SNEAK PEEK: HOUSE MINORITY LEADER NANCY PELOSI is continuing to try to solidify support within her caucus in her bid to return as speaker. Although there remains some dissent in her caucus, Congresswoman Joyce Beatty (OH-03) will call this morning on her colleagues to unite around Pelosi.
"The American people have spoken.Democrats will lead in the 116th Congress and I will support Nancy Pelosi for Speaker. Now is the time for House Democrats to unify so that the will of the majority prevails," Beatty will say in a statement. "House Democrats must not allow a handful of members to hold a veto over the overwhelming majority of our Caucus. Any attempts to undermine Nancy Pelosi for Speaker of the House are unwarranted and fly in the face of her stellar and unrivaled leadership that led Democrats to victory in the House."
