House Democratic Caucus Chair Hakeem Jeffries is believed to be the leading candidate to replace House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as Democratic leader after her decision to step down, which she announced from the well of the House Thursday.
Fox News senior congressional correspondent Chad Pergram reports on the possibility of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi stepping down from her leadership positions and Republicans' planned investigations after securing a majority.
By the current leadership chart, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer is second-in-line to replace Pelosi. The 83-year-old Maryland Democrat has served as Pelosi's top deputy in the House leadership for nearly 20 years. But in a House Democratic caucus that's become increasingly progressive in recent years, Jeffries could very well face a challenge from his left flank. The New York Democrat, however, also has a deep bench of support from the more than 50-member Congressional Black Caucus .
By the current leadership chart, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer is second in-line to replace Pelosi. In addition to Pelosi and Hoyer, House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn also plans to step down from leadership. The South Carolina Democrat's exit clears the way for a full turnover of House leadership.
Jayapal, D-Wash., is the chair of the nearly 100-member Congressional Progressive Caucus and has long been speculated to have leadership ambitions.
