“House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi said on Wednesday that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s concessions to conservatives on his right flank to win his leadership position have diminished the worth of the position,” Politico reports.
Said Pelosi:”I think it’s an ever incredibly shrinking speakership. It became that the first night when he had to make all these pledges, promises to become speaker.
Really, it isn’t worth it to be speaker to abdicate that much jurisdiction over the House.”
